Teacher Residency Program

Teaching is an immensely rewarding career with potential to shape students’ lives and engage with the communities schools serve. At the Graduate School of Education, we prepare students to be highly-qualified teachers in numerous fields, including high-need certification areas. The Office of Educator Preparation offers the university's initial teacher certification program at the post-baccalaureate level and is dedicated to preparing qualified, committed and caring teachers who can work effectively with students from various cultures with a wide variety of abilities and needs. The UB Teacher Residency is a one-year, paid residency program that has been designed to prepare effective, learner-ready teachers for the Buffalo Public Schools while co-teaching alongside a mentor teacher for an entire school year.
