Teaching COMMITMENT

Teacher Residents are provided with a living expense support stipend of $20,000 and a guaranteed teaching position when they successfully complete the program.  In return, you must make a commitment to teach for three years in your residency school or district following your completion of the program.  We intend for our residents to stay in teaching and take on leadership roles in their residency districts for many years beyond the first three.   

MAT Residency Program Course Sequence

The MAT program length is between 12 and 18 months depending upon your prior coursework and preparation.  The on-site residency component is one-year.  The program begins in the spring and continues through the summer with education core curriculum coursework and the summer Teacher Residency community experience.  The full-time, co-teaching residency in a partner district school begins in August and continues one full-school year.
