We’re thrilled to welcome the 10th cohort of Temple Teacher Residency (TTR)! Here are some highlights from this year’s TTR Summer Institute.

The Summer Institute kicks off the residency and academic year with workshops led by veteran mentors, recent TTR graduates and community leaders from the School District of Philadelphia, all aimed at helping residents navigate the residency process.

This year’s cohort, like those before them, has made a profound commitment to the children of Philadelphia. They’ve transitioned from established careers in various industries to become educators, joining a movement to bring resilient, expert teachers to our schools.

This year promises to be remarkable for our residents. They will balance full-time study in an accelerated master’s program with hands-on teaching experience, while managing additional responsibilities outside of their residency. Despite the challenges ahead, they are prepared to persevere, supported by Temple’s dedicated community.

🧘‍♀️ Happy National Relaxation Day, Owls!

Taking time to relax and recharge is essential for your well-being and academic success. Here are some relaxation tips that can help you unwind and find balance:
- Mindful meditation - spend a few minutes practicing mindfulness or meditation. Apps like Headspace or Calm can guide you through simple exercises to clear your mind.
- Nature walks - nature has a calming effect that can help reduce stress.
- Yoga and stretching - try to include yoga or simple stretching exercises into your routine. These activities can help release tension in your body and improve flexibility.
- Read for pleasure - escape into a good book that’s unrelated to your coursework.
- Creative outlets - drawing, painting, writing, or playing an instrument. Creativity can be a great way to express yourself and de-stress.
