Sharing a Vision Toward a National Definition of Teacher Residencies

Over the past several years, teacher residency programs have shown immense promise meeting the needs of future teachers and students across the country. However, with the range of different features offered by these programs, an exact definition of teacher residencies has been difficult to identify.

Under the umbrella of the Pathways Alliance, Prepared to Teach collaborated with NCTR and a working group to gather perspectives and create a nationally vetted residency definition. The definition includes discussions of four important teacher residency components:  partnerships, curriculum, resident experiences, and mentor teachers. 

Join Pathways Alliance on August 11 at 1:00 p.m.ET for a webinar discussing a path forward for a national definition of Teacher Residency programs. Register today.

The Pathways Alliance is a coalition of leading organizations dedicated to supporting and implementing diverse and inclusive educator preparation pipelines, including teacher residency programs. Launched in October 2021, and with AACTE as one of the founding members, it is co-led by InnovateEDU and The Learning Policy Institute.
