The best attorneys enter the profession through full-time clerkships; doctors enter the profession through full-time internships and residencies; and increasing numbers of teachers enter the profession through full-time teacher residencies.

Just like medical residents learn across different settings and different classes, resident teachers learn classroom skills from a mentor teacher across different situations.

What is a Teacher Residency?

Teacher residency programs typically are an alternative pathway to teaching for prospective educators who already have a bachelor’s degree. In the teacher residency model, teachers-to-be integrate master’s-level education content with a yearlong classroom internship in a public school. Unlike other alternative teaching certification models, residents do not serve as the teacher of record in the classroom.

Resident teacher programs typically share similar characteristics:

  • Attract smart, capable individuals who have content knowledge in the discipline
  • Occur in high-needs public schools that typically struggle to staff and retain teachers
  • Encompass the whole school year
  • Tie classwork to experience in the classroom
  • Allow interns opportunities to develop the craft of teaching as they address the challenges students face
  • Include structured feedback and coaching
  • Provide opportunities to take on increased teaching responsibilities under the guidance of an experienced classroom teacher, eventually serving as lead teacher, roughly similar to a student teaching practicum

The residency is intended to attract social-justice-oriented advocates who believe that all students deserve access to high-quality teachers.

This program aims to prepare individuals through hands-on learning led by expert teachers and educators. The goal is to ensure that every resident begins their teaching career with the knowledge and skills they need to be successful. 

The program is 15 months and at the end of the program, you will have a single subject credential, an advanced degree, and the confidence and tools you need to start your teaching career as a full-time teacher of record.  You will be matched at one of 20 Green Dot schools across Los Angeles.
 
All residents will receive a $24,000 stipend while in the program. They will also be eligible for grants and scholarships such as the TEACH Grant (receive up to $4000 a year).

If you are an equity-minded individual looking to become a Middle School or High School Math, Science, English, or Spanish teacher, this program may be the right fit for you.

In other words, they are excellent teachers and change agents. ]]> 2021-12-14 02:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/adrianaarteaga/REALinfo/wish/1946028304 Courses and Cost of Program https://padlet.com/adrianaarteaga/REALinfo/wish/2036478639 2022-02-08 20:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/adrianaarteaga/REALinfo/wish/2036478639 Article about REAL adrianaarteaga https://padlet.com/adrianaarteaga/REALinfo/wish/2036503724 2022-02-08 20:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/adrianaarteaga/REALinfo/wish/2036503724 Video adrianaarteaga https://padlet.com/adrianaarteaga/REALinfo/wish/2072388266 2022-03-01 22:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/adrianaarteaga/REALinfo/wish/2072388266
