More about Denver Teacher Residency

Founded in 2009, the Denver Teacher Residency is a program of the Denver Public Schools (DPS). Denver Public Schools believes that student success is tied directly to teacher excellence. This philosophy was the motivation behind the Denver Teacher Residency, a program through which DPS recruits and cultivates aspiring teachers who seek to be agents of change in a progressive urban school district. The Denver Teacher Residency program is designed specifically for those who want to become the best educators possible in an urban school district that’s on the cutting edge of reform. The program offers Residents the opportunity to work in an environment rich in linguistic, economic and cultural diversity, the ability to make a difference in the lives of at-risk, high-needs students and the opportunity to live at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.
