Congratulations, Chicago Teacher Residency Graduates!
On June 6th, the Chicago Teacher Residency (CTR) held a virtual graduation ceremony for the 44 Residents in the program. The virtual graduation was modeled after an in-person service and included: a moment of silence in solidarity, a welcome address from Katie Peterson, Director of the CTR, a resident speech by Jacqueline Carmona, Class of 2020 Resident, and Closing Remarks from Dr. Donald Feinstein. The graduation featured video montages of CTR graduates as well as remarks from AUSL’s Founder Martin Koldyke, Chairman Mike Zafirovski, Executive Director Don Feinstein, Former United States Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, and Jennie Magiera, a former CTR mentor and the current Global Head of Education Impact at Google.
Each Resident completed our one-year teaching residency, which included work with a mentor teacher in an AUSL network Chicago Public School. We create schools of excellence by developing highly effective teachers and transforming educational outcomes for students in the lowest performing schools.
This year’s cohort of the one-year Master’s Degree program attended 250 virtual job placement interviews, and we are proud to announce that all 44 residents were hired by 23 Chicago Public Schools. The graduation ceremony was held virtually via Zoom and live streamed to a special graduation website, a first for the CTR.
