Innovation. Rigor. Commitment. Success. These are the standards against which DPS educators are measured and the tenets of the Denver Teacher Residency. If you possess these traits and want to learn more about the qualifications required of Denver Teacher Residency applicants, please read about the program's eligibility and admissions in our FAQ section.

As part of the application process all DTR applicants must submit passing scores on either the PLACE or PRAXIS II. All potential applicants seriously considering applying for the 2010 Residency are strongly encouraged to begin looking into potential test dates for the PLACE or PRAXIS II. Your DTR application will not be considered complete until all portions of the application are received by the DTR. This includes a passing score report for the PLACE or PRAXIS II.

• For testing dates and to register for the PLACE exam, please go to www.place.nesinc.com
• For testing dates and to register for the PRAXIS II exam, go to www.ets.org/praxis or call 800.772.9476.

PHASE ONE & PHASE TWO:

For those candidates who are offered a 2010 Residency position or are placed on the waitlist for a 2010 Residency position, the application will have two phases.

• Phase One: All applicants will complete this phase. Phase One is an electronic application submitted only through the DTR website, which includes, among other things, a section about your personal information, educational background, statements of interest, and verification of a passing score for the PLACE or PRAXIS II.

  All application materials for Phase One must be submitted by the Winter Admissions deadline or the Spring Admissions deadline in order to be reviewed.

• Phase Two: After all Phase One applications are reviewed, a select number of candidates are invited to participate in a Demonstration Day, which is comprised of a series of activities that gives select applicants an opportunity to demonstrate their strengths and attributes. Of the candidates who participate in a Demonstration Day, DTR will recommend for a select number of those candidates to submit a Phase Two application.

  A Phase Two application consists of submitting an online application to the University of Denver’s Morgridge College of Education, which includes one official transcript from every post-secondary institution attended, as well as a $60 application fee. Only those candidates who receive a recommendation from DTR to submit a Phase Two application will be considered for a 2010 Residency position.
