Pros
Only join this program to receive free training in the summer. Their grading is subjective so do not waste two years to find out that they don’t think you qualify to be a teacher. The price reduction is not worth the added stress.
Cons
BCTR makes this experience more stressful than it has to be, but blames it in you. They have unrealistic expectations. They expect to own all of your time. If you have a family, just don’t. You are better off spending the next two years working full time elsewhere or completing an actual graduate program that isn’t subjectively graded on a single pass/fail basis at the end. There are no grades or transcripts to prove your work. All you have is the voice of your observers. Leadership picks favorites and lets some students redo their formal evaluations until they receive a better score but deny that opportunity to others. They will lead you to believe you are passing and ask you to fork over money for student supplies, transportation, and living expenses for additional weeks of free labor for them just to cut you for something that was resolved on the first day.
