In a recent Education Week <\/em>article, Stephen Sawchuk <\/strong>turns to teacher residency programs.\u00a0 These programs apprentice teacher-candidates to a mentor teacher in a high-need school for one year.\u00a0 Funded in part by the USDE\u2019s Teacher Quality Partnership grants, residents receive stipends for their on-the-job training and take coursework concurrently.\u00a0 The goal is to better align coursework with practical experience, and to move teachers through the training and certification process much faster than traditional teacher-training programs.<\/p>\n

So far, the residency programs have celebrated such successes as more engaged teacher-candidates, stronger relationships with the local school districts, and being able to better meet the particular needs of each district.\u00a0 However, these strides have not been without their obstacles.<\/p>\n

Finding high-quality mentors has been challenging, mainly due to the fact that high-needs schools have high turnover rates, so very experienced teachers are hard to come by.\u00a0 Additionally, the stipend paid to mentors may be insufficient in the eyes of many for taking on the extra duties of training a new teacher and sharing classroom space for a year.<\/p>\n

But the biggest obstacle by far is creating effective and successful residency programs while working within the traditional certification model set up in most states.\u00a0 \u201cIt has been a nightmare trying to make everything align,\u201d Therese Dozier, the director of the Richmond Teacher Residency program at VCU, said. \u201cThis is a new approach to training teachers, but we\u2019re functioning within the traditional structure of how programs get changed and approved.\u201d<\/p>\n

The drawn-out debates in Congress about the U.S. budget have essentially stopped funding to the Teacher Quality Partnership program for the past two years, and even the Obama administration has proposed combining the program into a new funding stream.\u00a0 This has led many residency programs to turn to private grants for funding, a process that many foresee continuing even if federal funding is restored.<\/p>\n
