RTR Teacher Residency program at Virginia Commonwealth University 🐏✨
We recruit, prepare, and support future educators through immersive classroom experiences, expert mentorship, and partnerships with VCU and 26+ Virginia school divisions. RTR is a undergraduate and graduate teacher residency program that recruits, trains, and supports teachers for high-needs and hard-to-staff schools. RTR residents learn alongside our top district teachers for an entire year while earning a graduate degree from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). Yet, our support does not stop there. Our graduates receive one-on-one training with a content-specific career coach throughout the first two years of their teaching careers. With RTR, residents gain the skills and the experience to positively impact the lives of students from historically marginalized communities. Join us to make a difference. We offer multiple pathways -- (1) our Special/Exceptional Education (SE) Pathway prepares future special educators at the elementary, middle and high school levels; (2) our Secondary Pathway prepares future teachers to teach content areas such as biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, math, English and social studies at the middle and high school levels, (3) Early Childhood and Elementary Education Pathway prepares future early childhood and elementary educators at the PreK -6th grade level, and (4) Instructional Assistant (IA) Pathway for special education and elementary.
