The Teacher Residency Return on Investment

Organized by the Hunt Institute in partnership with the National Center for Teacher Residencies, this webinar will discuss how states can leverage teacher residencies to prepare and retain effective and diverse teachers.

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing teacher shortages across the country. As we look forward, we must not only consider short- and long-term ways to fill labor gaps, but to build a stronger and more diverse educator pipeline.

Fortunately, a growing body of evidence points to teacher residencies as one effective preparation model, allowing individuals to spend a school year learning in an expert mentor teacher’s classroom while simultaneously completing community-based, clinically-aligned coursework. Metis will join the Hunt Institute and the National Center for Teacher Residencies for a conversation around how teacher residency programs prepare and retain effective and diverse teachers.
