Boston Teacher Residency (BTR) BTR is a rigorous, school-based urban teacher preparation program that is part of the aggressive strategy of the Boston Public Schools (BPS) to improve instruction in every classroom. During the full-time, 13-month program, Teacher Residents co-teach with a Mentor Teacher in a BPS classroom and take coursework taught by exceptional educators and academics. BTR graduates earn a Massachusetts Initial Teacher License and a master’s degree in education from the University of Massachusetts/Boston, and work toward dual licensure in special education.
