Teacher Residency: A Dynamic Pathway to Teaching Excellence

Teacher residency offers a transformative path to teacher preparation, pairing aspiring educators with experienced mentors for a year-long co-teaching placement. Participants gain hands-on experience, mentorship, and cohort support while receiving a living stipend. Through coursework, they earn high-need teaching credentials, preparing them for TK/K through 12th-grade classrooms.

Contrary to misconceptions, participation does not require living on campus or in specified teacher housing. Applicants need a bachelor's degree and authorization to work in the US to apply. Join us on this journey to become an exemplary educator!

We are partnered with two amazing institutions: Alder GSE and CSUMB. See their information below for more details.
