Urban Teacher Residencies, Year 1: Looking Across Models and Contexts

Mon, April 16, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Vancouver Convention Centre, Floor: Second Level, West Room 220

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

The Urban Teacher Residency (UTR) is an innovative model of teacher preparation that provides a contextualized urban apprenticeship accompanied by relevant coursework. While initial program data seem promising and the number of UTRs is increasing rapidly across the nation, few studies exist that provide empirical data about the programs and their residents, and even fewer look across UTRs, which can vary greatly by both context and program design. This panel will include representatives from five diverse UTRs who will disseminate findings from their first year of implementation, and look across UTR contexts and models to discuss commonalities and distinctions between programs. Such an examination is important for understanding how local contexts influence design and to understand the strengths and challenges of such variation.
