CT Teacher Residency Program

A partnership of the RESC Alliance, provides college graduates with a tuition free alternate route to certification based on a residency model that focuses on recruiting, preparing and retaining teachers of color in schools in Connecticut. 

Overview

Connecticut faces a notable disparity between the diversity of its student population and its educator workforce. TRP plays a significant role in addressing this gap by focusing on increasing the representation of educators of color. It is the ONLY CT program requiring districts to provide a living wage and also offers mentoring and support in completing all certification requirements. 

Regional Educational Service Centers (RESCs) are nonprofit, fee-for-service, public education agencies.Their mission is to provide quality, cost-effective education resources, programs, and services to the state’s public schools. The RESC Alliance exists to create greater access to resources and savings for all Connecticut public schools.
