Resident, East Harlem Teaching Residency

About the role

The East Harlem Teaching Residency is a 15-month program that prepares aspiring teachers through rigorous coursework in Childhood Education at Hunter College School of Education and a 15-month paid residency as a resident teacher at East Harlem Scholars Academies with extensive support and training grounded in antiracist teaching practices. Residents will complete the program with a Master’s degree in Childhood Education Grades 1-6 and initial New York State teaching certification.

East Harlem Scholars Academies are community-based Pre-K to 12 public charter schools operated by East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP). EHTP began in 1958 as a children's reading group and has since grown into a multi-site after-school program for traditional public school students and a network of public charter schools focused on significantly increasing the college graduation rate in East Harlem. At EHTP we also aim to serve as an agent of change and thoughtfully contribute to the national fight for racial equity. Through our organization-wide commitment to anti-racism work, we prepare our scholars to effect change, challenge the status quo, and thrive in the world around them. As staff members, we face our own racial identities and conscious and unconscious biases. With this in mind, all of our professional development, curriculum, organizational materials, and processes are designed with a goal of racial justice
