Getting your player ready...
Are you interested in making a difference? Do you have a passion for learning? Have you ever wanted to be a teacher? The Boettcher Teachers Program may be the program for you. This program is a dual licensure and master’s degree designed to prepare a highly-skilled workforce of professional educators who make a difference in the individual lives of low-income students and communities and the schools that serve them.
The program takes five years to complete, and residents are awarded half tuition in exchange for a commitment to teach in low-income schools in the metro Denver area. In the first year of the program, the teacher residency year, residents receive a $10,000 stipend and complete licensure requirements. In years two through five, they are full-time, salaried teachers. By the beginning of year two, residents have earned their master’s degree; and by the end of year five, they have satisfied their teaching service obligation.
This year the application deadline is January 9, 2011.
