-Arne Duncan, US Secretary of Education

Residents spend the first year of this commitment—their residency year—training in a classroom with a highly effective mentor teacher. CTRs are initially placed at KIPP DC or E.L Haynes, two high-performing D.C. public charter schools.

Throughout this time, the program supports CTRs as they develop into skilled educators through extensive coaching, consistent work with a mentor teacher, focused professional development coursework, and daily practice perfecting their skills in a real classroom. After completing their residency, CTR alumni remain in the classroom for at least two more years and continue to teach at E.L. Haynes, KIPP DC, or partner public charter schools across D.C.
