Teacher residencies

Teacher residencies are specialized training programs designed to prepare aspiring teachers for the classroom. Similar to medical residencies, they combine hands-on experience with academic coursework. Participants spend a year working closely with experienced mentor teachers in real classroom settings while also taking educational classes. This immersive approach helps new teachers develop practical skills, classroom management techniques, and a strong understanding of teaching practices. The goal is to better prepare them for the challenges of teaching, ultimately leading to improved student outcomes and increased teacher retention in schools.
