WHAT IS A TEACHER RESIDENCY?

A teacher residency consists of a rigorous full-year classroom apprenticeship for pre-service teachers with academic coursework that is closely aligned with such classroom experiences. In this type of program, Teacher Residents learn how to teach by working for an entire year alongside a highly trained, supported mentor teacher in the school district where the resident will eventually work. Teacher Residency programs require that candidates commit to teaching in the school for a minimum of three years.
