Pioneering Teacher Preparation Program in Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC
Urban Teacher Center (UTC) is a four-year, alternative teacher preparation program that operates in Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC. Every participant in the program completes an intensive year-long residency, followed by a three-year teaching commitment in a high-need urban elementary, middle or high school. In addition to extensive classroom experience during the residency, UTC teachers earn a master’s degree with a dual focus of general education and special education that is directly relevant to the urban teacher. They also receive three years of one-on-one coaching. During the first year, participants receive a $20,000 stipend from UTC. Teacher salaries in Baltimore and DC are some of the highest in the nation. Both cities allow an effective teacher to earn six figures.
All UTC teachers are part of an unprecedented commitment to student performance: only those who demonstrate effective teaching practice and improve student learning receive two certifications and complete the program. UTC teachers are among the most expert and results-oriented in the nation.
