TR@TC's yearlong teaching residencies begin in late August and follow the schedule of the NYCDOE school year, ending in the following June. Teaching Residents are paired with Mentor Teachers in TR@TC Partnership Schools and spend four days/week in schools during the school day. TR@TC is a rigorous and intensive full-time teacher preparation program, which includes a substantial experiential element that incorporates components such as extensive fieldwork in schools, participation in events hosted by educational and community-based organizations, and time spent exploring neighborhoods and communities where students attend school and live. Schedules vary based on the certification program, course schedules, fieldwork, etc., and residents have obligations during the day and in the evening.
