What is Residency Teacher Training Program

Handbook of Research on Program Development and Assessment Methodologies in K-20 Education
Residency teacher training programs are designed to serve the school district and provide effective training programs that pair a rigorous, community-based, full-year classroom apprenticeship with masters-level education content. Originally designed around a medical Residency Model, teacher preparation programs provide residents with both the underlying theory of effective teaching and a year-long, in-school “residency” in which they practice and hone their skills and knowledge alongside effective teacher mentors in a high-needs classroom. Variations on the Residency Model include using multiple-teacher, co-taught, inclusive classrooms and having candidates experience multiple grade levels throughout the year.

Abstract
This program study used faculty, administrator and teacher candidate participant interviews to examine expanded field experiences and action research effects on a Professional Development School (PDS) partnership. Specifically, the roles and relationships between public school and higher education members were examined in light of the effectiveness of the program and teacher candidate performance. Implications for higher education practices in PDS development, program design, faculty development and student learning are described. The PDS model has been embraced as a means to collaboratively develop teacher education programs that benefit student learning as well as to effectively meet licensure and academic requirements.
