School of Ed prepping more than 200 new teachers for Balto.
City
In partnership with Teach for America and the Baltimore City
Teaching Residency Program, Johns Hopkins' School of
Education will start preparing more than 200 new teachers
for teaching positions this fall in the Baltimore City
Public School System.
Candidates from both Teach for America and the Teaching
Residency Program were selected from a large pool of
applicants and will start attending Johns Hopkins classes
this summer. Teacher candidates will either be pursuing the
39-credit Master of Arts in Teaching degree or will be
completing courses required for certification.
Teach for America draws from a national corps of recent
college graduates from a variety of academic backgrounds who
have committed to two years of teaching in a public school.
Baltimore City Teaching Residency Program participants tend
to be working professionals who have decided to change
careers to enter teaching. In recent years, the JHU
partnership has played an important role in helping
Baltimore City schools recruit and find highly qualified
instructors to teach in critical-need areas such as math and
science.
