Program Timeline
The Inspired Teaching Residency is a 24-month program, thoughtfully structured to support the preparation and development of new teachers.
Through intentionally sequenced graduate coursework and practical learning experiences, Fellows are immersed in instructional best-practices that result in student-centered, data-driven classrooms. Introduced to Inspired Teaching through a summer experience, Fellows then complete a residency year and summer teaching practicum where they develop the skills and dispositions necessary for a successful fellowship year and career as an educator.
