The Black Teacher Residency (BTR) combines coursework with on-the-job training. Candidates receive at least one academic year of teaching support alongside a mentor teacher before becoming certified teachers of record that independently lead a class. Additionally, Educate ME provides a full-tuition scholarship to each admitted BTR. The cohort model offers a sense of community. What makes BTR unique are the wrap-around services available to Residents, such as test prep, exam vouchers, and homeownership assistance.
