Boston Teacher Residency is a clinical teacher-preparation program in Boston that blends a year-long classroom apprenticeship with targeted master's coursework, designed to deliver educators who can make an immediate impact and continue to refine their practice. It recruits a diverse mix of candidates, including recent graduates, career changers, and community members, and channels them into the Boston Public Schools. Participants earn a low-cost Master of Education from UMass Boston, obtain the Massachusetts initial teaching license, and receive practical teaching experience alongside ongoing professional development, AmeriCorps stipends, and health benefits. Positioned within the primary and secondary education sector, the program acts as a pipeline into the Boston Public Schools, contributing a meaningful share of new hires and helping shape the district's teaching workforce. Outcomes highlight strong retention, with a majority of graduates continuing to teach in Boston and many remaining involved in education, including half of residents and graduates who identify as teachers of color. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Boston Teacher Residency emphasizes a master's-level credential and ongoing support as part of its model.
