Denver Teacher Residency

Denver Teacher Residency is a postgraduate training program designed to prepare new teachers to work effectively in Denver classrooms. It combines hands-on teaching experience in local schools with coursework and mentorship from experienced educators. The program typically lasts about a year, during which residents develop practical skills, gain classroom confidence, and earn a teaching license. Its goal is to prepare committed, well-trained teachers who can improve student learning and address the diverse needs of Denver’s students. By focusing on local community context and ongoing support, the residency aims to build a strong, sustainable teaching workforce for the city.
