The Bilingual Educators'/Accelerated Community to Teacher (BE/ACTT) program prepares diverse community members to become provisionally licensed teachers in the Boston Public Schools. In this unique 12-month accelerated teacher preparation program, participants develop their practice in the four domains of the state’s teacher evaluation system. Working alongside highly skilled teachers and community partners, cohort members are prepared for MTELs, participate in workshops, complete a pre-practicum, and assemble competency-based portfolios. Those who successfully complete the program are eligible for the BPS Teaching Fellowship, a 12-month practicum for first-year teachers to develop strong instructional practices in actual Boston classrooms.
