Pros

A professional transition program that can help people interested in the education profession. Also gives people access to the Master in Education at Marian University at a reduced cost.

Cons

Training is very pieced together. There is a lot of focus on process rather than content which leaves you unprepared for the actual tasks related to the position. They need to make the courses at Marian more serius

Pros

I made some great friends in my cohort. I really have nothing else good to say about Baltimore City Teacher Residency.

Cons

We were told one year to get our certification, then next year we were told it was two years. We were told there would be support, one coach never came to classrooms and then quit before the year was over. Several people were forced out by their principal, and BCTR/TNTP offered no help. BCTR/TNTP shares office space with BCPSS, so no wonder they only care about the school system and not their fellows or the students. One fellow was dating his ACE observer.

Think twice!

Pros

Quick training program for someone who doesn't need training (read: no one) Everyone I met was doing this for "the right reasons" but you really need to think twice about whether this is the best route into teaching. Be sure to talk to folks who have done it. Do not assume you will be the exception to the rule.

Cons

Inadequate training Unresponsive to needs of trainees. Does not listen. Dishonest about attrition rates "my way or the highway" attitude Ego Homogenous group of young white women with 2-3 years teaching experience Motivated by compliance (need to sit X hours in class) rather than by providing excellent training Poor job support Geared toward elementary education only, even if they train for secondary
