“I highly recommend the Teacher Residency for all those who aspire to the teaching profession. Graduates of the program will have a superior resume, will give better job interviews, and will have a decided edge in the competition for teaching jobs. From the very first day of your new teaching position, you will be a confident, skilled, and knowledgeable teacher who can make a dramatic difference in the lives of your students. Best of all, this program is one of only a handful of paid internship programs in the country.
It’s no secret among teachers, administrators, teacher educators, and teacher candidates that more teaching experience will make you a better teacher.
