NYU Teacher Residency

The NYU Teacher Residency is a one-year combined residency and master of arts in teaching (MAT) program designed to prepare aspiring teachers for the realities of the classroom with rigorous online course work and the holistic support of hands-on practice. While immersed in one school for an entire year, residents learn how to serve all students, create an inclusive classroom environment, and become an integral part of a school and neighboring community.With the option of a full-time teacher residency or a part-time teacher residency, practical, new-teacher preparation happens directly in the classroom surrounded by a web of support that includes NYU Steinhardt faculty, a cohort of peers, a teacher mentor, a residency director, and school partner leadership.Current residency partner schools are in San Francisco, CA, Washington, DC, Palm Beach, FL, Southern CT, Upstate and Central New York, and New York City. We continue to add locations and regions as the Teacher Residency grows. Prior teaching experience is not a requirement. People from diverse professional and personal backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Learn about the program’s eligibility requirements.
