Teacher Pathways for Non- Traditional Teachers: Navigating the Alternate Route(s)

Join the NYU Teacher Residency on Thursday, April 9th!


Join the NYU Teacher Residency for a live event where we help non-education majors understand the basics of how to become a well-trained, licensed K-12 teacher without necessarily having studied education before. Join me, our Resident Recruitment Manager, as we take a look at topics relevant to folks considering a career in teaching who are struggling to know where to begin. 


This event covers topics at a very high level and is likely best suited for someone beginning to consider alternate teaching pathways or someone currently researching programs struggling to prioritize their search.

 

The goal of this session is to help provide context in an open discussion setting, which means that we’ll follow an outline of topics but leave plenty of room for impromptu questions and discussion. 


If you have any questions about this event, please email matthew.giles@nyu.edu
