Master of Arts in Teaching, Secondary Education, Grades 7-12, Initial Certification (Teacher Residency Program)

This program is a one-year combined residency and master of arts in teaching (MAT) preparing you to teach middle and high school students of all backgrounds and instructional needs. All teacher residents are eligible for some level of scholarship and financial aid. Additionally, there are opportunities to earn subsidies or wages depending on your residency location. The NYU Teacher Residency prepares you for the realities of the classroom with rigorous course work, hands-on practice, and culturally responsive teaching. You have the opportunity to build deep knowledge of how to serve all students – including emergent bilinguals and students with disabilities – in your content area. The design of our curriculum aligns with what you’re doing in the classroom. You experience one module at a time while learning with close support from your teacher mentor and gradually increasing your classroom responsibilities. When it’s time to lead a classroom of your own, you will have the confidence and practical foundation to meet the needs of each student while building a community of learners and connecting with families and the local community. Participation in the residency must be with one of our partner schools in these regions: New York City; Upstate and Central NY; Washington, DC.
