TEACHER RESIDENT PROGRAM
“Research suggests that well-designed and well-implemented teacher residency models can create long-term benefits for districts, for schools, and ultimately and most importantly, for the students they serve.” Learning Policy Institute September 2016
Master's Degree with State Teacher Licensure
One of the most promising models for enhancing teacher preparation involves placing teachers-in-training in excellent schools for long periods of time, as a resident in an apprenticeship setting. When PreK-12 schools partner with higher education institutions in meaningful ways, there is an opportunity to provide exemplary teacher preparation while simultaneously enhancing the growth of the teachers in the school and the quality of education for the K-12 students.

Our Flagship Program
- It is a full-time, intensive, site-based program carried out in one year. It's designed for recent liberal arts graduates, as well as professionals who are changing careers.
- Apprentice with a master teacher for a full year.
- For the TNTC program, the teacher residency is a dialectical experience that merges the educational theories, ideas and practices taught in the graduate classes with daily work in each Resident's classroom over a sustained period of time - the school year.
- The classroom becomes a learning laboratory where Residents see, explore and practice what they are being taught.
- Teacher Residents become part of the classroom and the school; they know the students, see their development, and work with other teachers, school administrators and parents.
- From observer to teammate, the Residents become increasingly involved in all aspects of classroom teaching. From the first weeks of the summer courses, through their classroom placements, to the spring semester where they teach the curriculum they’ve designed - the Teacher Residents participate fully in the school community and their journey to become full fledged teachers.
- Teach for success! Research has established lack of preparation as a leading cause of teacher burn-out. The features of the TNTC Program - the curriculum, the immersion, the mentoring - provide the strongest possible foundation for success - starting on your first day. No other program matches the TNTC experience.
- The curriculum is tailored for success in today's teaching world.
- All courses are taught on site, thus maximizing Residents' time in the school.
- Classes are small and personal with a 12:1 student-faculty ratio.
- TNTC graduation rate is 98%.
- The employment rate is 100% upon graduation.
- Teacher salaries have steadily increased and many districts are offering signing bonuses.
- The Ohio teaching license transfers to all states. TNTC staff will help with that process.
- 100% students recommend TNTC programs.
