Teacher Residency Programs

Teacher Residency Programs are structured training initiatives designed to prepare new teachers for the classroom. These programs combine rigorous coursework in education theory with hands-on teaching experience in real classrooms, often alongside experienced mentors. Typically lasting one year, residents gain valuable insights into effective teaching practices and classroom management. In exchange for their commitment, participants may receive a stipend and financial support for tuition. The goal is to produce highly skilled educators who are more likely to stay in the profession and positively impact student learning, particularly in underserved communities.
