Teacher Training Center

Shady Hill’s teacher residency program is a graduate year combining full-time classroom experience with the study of educational ideas and practice in a progressive Beginners (Pre-K) to Grade VIII school located one mile from Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. Apprentices work side-by-side with master teachers. They discover what teaching is through observation, supervised teaching, workshops and seminars facilitated by faculty. Apprentices receive excellent mentorship, consistent feedback, and experience with classroom management, curriculum development, assessment, and partnering with families.
