Be the difference...Change a generation…Inspire!

If you have ever thought about making a difference and are passionate about urban youth, the Atlanta Urban Teacher Residency (AUTR) may be the program for you.  AUTR will prepare you to teach in Atlanta Public Schools to impact the lives of children in the city of Atlanta.  As a resident in the first AUTR cohort you will participate in a groundbreaking program focused on recruiting, preparing and retaining secondary mathematics teachers in Atlanta Public Schools. 

Our mission is to create a pipeline of highly effective secondary teachers in the Atlanta Public School’s areas of greatest need – math, science, reading, and special education – through an Urban Teacher Residency.

As APS seeks to ensure that there is an effective teacher in every classroom, AUTR will prepare an elite cadre of teachers to go into high needs schools.  AUTR has identified master teachers to train and support residents as they earn their master’s degree and develop their skills as highly effective classroom teachers.
