In partnership with the Relay Graduate School of Education and Atlanta Public Schools, the KIPP Metro Atlanta Teaching Residency provides a unique and rigorous opportunity for aspiring educators to enter the profession through a supportive training process. Residents will learn alongside mentor teachers, while earning a master’s degree in teaching and a Georgia teaching certificate. This selective, paid, two-year residency immerses Residents in intensive training through Relay’s coursework and deliberate practice with a gradual on-ramp into teaching. Furthermore, Residents will have the opportunity to engage in content development, case studies and instructional rounds all aimed at building a continuous learning mindset within themselves and their cohort. This program is best suited for individuals who are passionate and committed to teaching as a long-term career path but who do not have any full-time teaching experience yet.

For the $125K investment on the development of the Resident, the Resident commits to teach for a minimum of two years in KIPP Metro Atlanta or Atlanta Public School and a minimum of two years after the program – a total 4 year commitment.
