The Baltimore City Teaching Residency is looking for you! They recruit candidates without a background in education to become an effective teacher for the students who need them most. 

Baltimore City students need and deserve creative teachers to share the wonders of Biology or Chemistry. And those students with additional learning needs could benefit greatly from the fresh-thinking and experience your school has already provided.

Baltimore City Teaching Residency trains accomplished professionals and recent college graduates to become exceptional, certified teachers for the Baltimore students who need them most.  We have a high need for Science and Special Education teachers for the coming school year.

Teachers in Biology and Chemistry are needed to show Baltimore students the hows and whys of the world they live in. Only twelve credit hours in Biology or Chemistry (or related coursework) are needed to qualify.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR TEACHING SCIENCE

Most enrollees who enter into the Special Education program have little to no prior background in Special Education. As a Baltimore Special Education Resident you would be dual certified, which makes you a valuable prospect for hiring Principals and doubles your future teaching options.

Special Education Residents benefit from a range of choices in classroom settings. Most BCTR Residents teach students with mild-to-moderate disabilities. In fact, students are learning the same content as their grade-level peers in a general education setting. You may work with a co-teacher, have a small group of students, or a combination of these settings.

Three is the magic number. On Monday at the RAC, that statement held true as the men’s basketball team absolutely dominated Shenandoah on their way to an 88-59 victory. Sophomore forward Arkel Lamar and senior guard Joe Sherborne paved the way for the Retrievers.

According to ESPN.com, UMBC entered the match-up with a 99.3 percent chance to beat Shenandoah, despite the fact that the Hornets came into the contest with a winning record. So what would be the telling factor: would it be the expert opinion, or would Shenandoah prove their legitmacy on the court as they did in two of their first three games?

Despite the noon tip-off time, an excited crowd inhabited the RAC arena. Having a game at free-hour gave commuters a conveinent opportunity to watch the men’s basketball team play, without having to come back to campus. The Retrievers came out of the gate red hot despite having to play the game without their leading scorer, Jairus Lyles. The Retrievers maintained an early 19-6 lead, but from that point on, Shenandoah improved their play tremendously. The Hornets would never bring the score even, but over the final 10 minutes of the first half they did trim the deficit to a mere two points.

Once the buzzer sounded to start the second half the Retrievers were ready to take over this ball game. The Retrievers shut out the Hornets for six straight minutes, mounting a 16-0 run during the time frame. This run was highlighted by four 3-pointers, three of which came from sharp shooting Sherborne. The Retrievers would go on to outscore the Hornets 48-22 during the last 20 minutes.

The Retrievers improved their record to 4-3, which brings them above the .500 mark for the first time this season. The great shooting performance from range improved the Retrievers rank to ninth nationally in three pointers made per game. The men’s basketball team will return home Dec. 12 against Coppin State.

Injury Notes:

Jairus Lyles: Jairus Lyles was out for the game due to concussion protocol. Lyle’s was not seen during the shoot-around, and was absent from the bench during the game. An ESPN shot revealed Lyles watching the game from one of the athletic office windows. The only information about the injury came from the men’s basketball Instagram account, saying “hopefully (Lyles) will be back Friday.”

Jourdan Grant (Senior-Guard): Grant appeared to suffer a leg injury during the game, but the injury did not seem serious. Grant was seen walking, and celebrating on the bench.

K.J Maura (Senior-Guard): Maura favored his right leg late in the second half. He was removed promptly and seen applying ice to the area. Maura seemed to have a slight limp, but the injury did not seem serious.

Look for Grant and Maura to return to the court Friday in South Carolina against Army. With the shroud of mystery surrounding the Lyles injury, his status seems to be questionable.
