• BECOME A TEACHER

    Richmond Teacher Residency Program (RTR) - Virginia Commonwealth University

    • What is RTR? RTR is a school-based teacher preparation program that integrates research and practice to equip residents with the knowledge, skills, and experience to be effective in high-needs and hard-to-staff classrooms. Pre-service teachers (called residents) spend the entire school year working alongside a mentor teacher, gradually taking on more teaching responsibility. In exchange for RTR paying for the VCU academic degree, residents agree to teach for three years in a high-needs school after graduation from the program.
