Teacher Residency Model

The Teacher Residency Model is an innovative approach to teacher preparation that pairs aspiring educators with experienced mentor teachers in a school setting. Over the course of a year, residents receive hands-on training while actively teaching in classrooms, allowing them to gain practical experience alongside their academic studies. This immersive experience helps them develop teaching skills, understand school dynamics, and build relationships within the community. Ultimately, the goal is to produce well-prepared teachers who can effectively meet the needs of their students and contribute positively to their schools.
