East Harlem Teaching Residency – Childhood Special Education (MSEd)
The East Harlem Teaching Residency, a partnership between the East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP) and Hunter College School of Education, is a highly selective teacher training program that develops, supports, and certifies aspiring educators to become elementary special educators in New York.
The Residency is designed specifically for recent college graduates and career changers who are looking for an innovative pathway into the teaching profession. You will work alongside an experienced mentor teacher as an Associate Teacher in an EHTP public charter school during the school day and lead academic instruction in an EHTP elementary afterschool program in the afternoon. Simultaneously, you enroll in subsidized a Master’s degree program at Hunter College in childhood special education leading to eligibility for New York State initial teacher certification. You receive approximately $5,000 in tuition subsidy per year.
