In partnership with Bridgeport and Stamford Public Schools, the Farrington College of Education at Sacred Heart University has created a full-time residency program that will prepare educators to provide equitable opportunities for students in Bridgeport and Stamford.

Upon successful completion, this 13-month program provides you with a Master of Arts in Teaching degree, teacher certification, 30 credits of graduate tuition and a living stipend (pending available funding). You are also promised a teaching position in a Bridgeport or Stamford school, with a commitment to teach for a minimum of three years after graduation.

You will spend a full school year in a classroom working alongside a mentor teacher carefully selected for you. You will also have a network of dedicated instructors, mentor teachers and principals committed to serving children and families at Bridgeport and Stamford Schools.

Joining the Teachers@Heart residency family is about more than becoming a teacher in your own classroom–it's about being part of a community of committed educators working toward equity and social justice in schools.
