The Teacher in Residence (TIR) Program is designed for students with a confirmed bachelor's degree to receive employment in a classroom while simultaneously completing coursework toward certification. The Post Baccalaureate Teacher in Residence Programs are approved by the Arizona Department of Education and utilizes the Alternative Teaching Certificate.

Students must be recommended by a school district for employment, as a contracted teacher, provide a current IVP fingerprint card, and appropriate passing subject knowledge exam scores.
