The Teacher Readiness Program provides relevant and hands-on training for beginning teachers seeking licensure. Participants actively build the knowledge, skills, and mindsets essential for effective teaching.
Through intentional practice, application, and reflection, they prepare to
lead classrooms with confidence. The program balances accessibility
for beginning teachers with high expectations, providing the support and challenge necessary to develop strong, impactful educators.
Want More? Do More! has been one of THE key levers in ensuring the success of our school over the last 7 years. We know every one of our leaders will receive exceptional training and coaching, positioning them to drive academic outcomes for our scholars.
Alex Quigley, Executive Director of Durham Charter School
The courses included in the TRP are designed to ensure teacher residents develop the key concepts and principles of teaching and are built on curriculum and clinical experiences that facilitate internalization of foundational concepts and skills.
