The residency experience lasts a full school year and guides successful candidates to job opportunities in the partner district.

A critical part of this program design is the implementation of courses that will provide aspiring teachers with the skills, content, and pedagogy they will need to be successful teachers in Connecticut schools. Under the direction of the Managing Director of Academic Programming, the TRP Program Developer is responsible for developing, reviewing, and revising program components for a potential CT Teacher Residency Secondary Mathematics Education Program.

• Identify opportunities to integrate literacy, mathematics, educational technology, and culturally responsive teaching into science educator preparation.
• Develop programming with an equity focus that aligns with the mission and approach of the CT TRP, including using anti-racist, social justice, and equity lenses
