East Harlem Teaching Residency
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 special educators in New York. Cohorts in Childhood Special Education and Adolescent Special Education in alternating years.
The Residency is an innovative, cohort-based teacher-training pathway for recent college graduates and career changers that develops, supports, and certifies aspiring educators to become inclusive learning teachers for East Harlem Scholars Academies and the greater East Harlem community. The program aims to improve educational outcomes for East Harlem students and increase the number of highly effective teachers serving East Harlem.
The Residency is designed specifically for those seeking an innovative pathway into the teaching profession. Over the course of the 28-month program, Residents co-teach alongside an experienced mentor teacher in the East Harlem Scholars Academies during the school day and lead academic instruction in an EHTP after school program in the afternoon. Simultaneously, Residents enroll in a subsidized Master’s degree program at Hunter College leading to eligibility for New York State initial teacher certification. Residents receive approximately $5,000 per year in tuition subsidy, and $45,000 stipend.
