The Canisius University Teacher Residency (CUTR) graduate program is on the hunt for future K-12 teachers! As part of the Teacher Residency Masters in Education Program, we ask supporters to identify potential teachers by referring them to our program.
What is the Canisius University Teacher Residency program? It is a graduate program for students who have completed their bachelor’s degree in any area and who want to become K-12 teachers. This program leads to dual certification in New York state in one of the following areas:
- Childhood Education (Grades 1-6)/Special Education (All Grades – PreK-12)
- Childhood Education (Grades 1-6)/TESOL (Grades K-12)
- Adolescence Education (Grades 7-12 in a content area)/Special Education (All Grades)
If you know of any students, colleagues, friends, or family who you think would make a great teacher, we would love to hear from you! This refer a resident form allows you to provide graduate admissions with the contact information of prospective graduate students for CUTR. New York State needs approximately 180,000 new teachers over the next decade to meet workforce needs (from NY.gov). Now is a great time to begin a career in teaching.
If you know of anyone interested in any of our graduate programs, I am happy to help. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at ruszczy3@canisius.edu or 716-888-2109.
