Answerability, Urgency, and Joy: Revitalizing and Reinvigorating Teacher Education Through Residency

Thu, April 11, 12:40 to 2:10pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 104B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In this symposium we explore various facets of teacher residency, making the case that it is possible to create a university-based, student-, school-, and community-focused teacher preparation program that is clinically intensive, academically rigorous, responsive to the economic concerns of students, and, above all, justice and equity-oriented. Exploring key elements of a University-District residency partnership program, papers in this symposium illuminate findings from research related to 1) hybrid spaces and the affordances and complexities of university-district partnerships; 2) recruitment, retention, and thriving of teachers of color; 3) university coursework innovations that leverage residency classroom experiences; 4) humanizing practices and relational pedagogies infused within program components and professional learning; and 5) the impact of residency program graduates on P12 students.
