The Chicago Teacher Residency class of 2019 graduated in June. The CTR is committed to recruiting, training, and staffing high-need schools with a diverse population of resident teachers who are well versed in culturally competent teaching and can provide appropriate social-emotional support for students.
In the last two years, over 60% of the resident class have been teachers of color — well above the national average where only 20%of practitioners are racially diverse.
