The Aspen Institute Along With The…

Center for Teaching Quality out with a report looking at teacher residencies. The report looks at urban teacher residencies.

Cities they look at are Chicago and Boston. They both have a separate program.

Over half of the people in this program are minorities, but the amount of people in the two programs looked at is small.

Students in the program work with a mentor for one year then they get to teach a classroom for one full year while still getting mentoring. Way longer than the Teacher For America program that I do like, but this is a better program.

After three years in the program at least 90% of students in the program still teach. That is what we want to see in program.

They do include details of the key elements of each program which is great.

This is certainly a program that more schools districts and colleges are going to have join together in creating so we can improve quality of teachers.
