Earn a free master’s degree in two years.
Zeta Resident Teachers enroll in a 2-year Master of Art in Teaching Residency program where you will learn the knowledge and skills you will need to elevate your teaching practice. In New York, you must be enrolled in a Master’s program in teaching to become professionally certified.
Get hands-on classroom teaching experience alongside other passionate educators.
As a Resident Teacher, you will have the opportunity to work closely with a co-teacher in your own classroom who will support you in your learning throughout your Residency. You will work closely with them to set goals, plan lessons, study student data, and more.
Receive impactful feedback from your school leaders and colleagues.
We believe in consistent, clear feedback and coaching designed to support your growth as a teacher. School leaders and teachers will be in your classroom to observe you and give feedback on a regular basis. You will have the chance to meet with your leaders frequently to discuss what you are working on and ways to elevate your practice, based on where you are in your teaching journey.
