The National Center for Teacher Residencies (NCTR) is a nonprofit organization based in Chicago, Illinois, that develops and scales teacher residency programs. It partners with school districts, charter management organizations, institutions of higher education, not-for-profits, and states to recruit and train diverse, effective teachers through year-long, classroom-based residencies guided by experienced mentor teachers. The model emphasizes practical, in-classroom preparation so new teachers enter the profession ready to teach on day one. NCTR operates within the education administration programs sector, focusing on building pipelines of well-prepared educators to address shortages and improve outcomes. In March 2026, NCTR announced a collaboration with AACTE (American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education) and Deans for Impact to co-sponsor Washington Week 2026, which will take place June 1–3 in Washington, D.C.
