The New Visions for Public Schools–Hunter College Urban Teacher
Residency is a 14 month teacher-training program that fully integrates
the graduate coursework of the aspiring teacher (Resident) with
intensive, hands-on experiences in New York City schools. Within a
strong public school, Residents collaborate with expert educators
around all aspects of teaching and learning. At the same time,
Residents take graduate courses at Hunter College specifically
designed by UTR to align with experiences in urban schools. Successful
completion of the program results in a Master's Degree in Education
and certification to teach in New York City. Graduates of UTR are
guaranteed the opportunity to be hired by a school within New Visions'
network of 75 public schools and are asked to commit to four years of
teaching in New Visions schools after their Residencies. For the
2009-2010 Residency, UTR will be preparing 24 residents in English and
Science (Biology, Earth Science, Chemistry, and Physics) for grades
7-12.
