Teacher Residency: Growing and Diversifying the Profession
Sims, Violet Jiménez; Lord, Kerry; Megos, Marlene; Mitchell, Ushawnda
Phi Delta Kappan, v104 n8 p6-11 May 2023
Violet Jiménez Sims, Kerry Lord, Marlene Megos, and Ushawnda Mitchell describe a new approach to addressing the gap between the racial diversity of teachers and students in U.S. public schools. The Connecticut Teacher Residency program (CT-TRP) is a grow-your-own approach to teacher training, certification, and retention that combines an academic program with a residency model while centering cultural competency. The program breaks down common barriers to the teaching profession by covering the cost of tuition, paying a living wage to candidates during their one-year residency, and helping them prepare for certification exams.
