Abstract

Teacher residency programs have the potential to address a number of challenges in teacher preparation, including high teacher turnover and shortage rates, underrepresentation of teachers of Color, and structural barriers in the teacher preparation pipeline. This session showcases research on residency programs from five different California public universities and a non-profit evaluation agency. The papers in this symposium highlight the promises and challenges of developing residency programs that address historical inequities in teacher education and K-12 schools.
