North Bay Bilingual Teacher Residency Program (NBBTRP)

To meet the increasing demand for bilingual teachers in California public schools, NVUSD and SRCS, in partnership with SSU's School of Education, will expand the existing NBTR Consortium to include multiple- and multiple plus single-subject credentials (both w/added bilingual authorization) to support the growth of dual language TK-8 programs in both districts. The NBTRC started with a capacity grant in 2018, followed by an implementation grant in 2019, to provide teacher candidates in special education (SPED), bilingual education, and STEM with the opportunity to participate in an intensive teacher residency program (TRP) instead of a traditional student teaching placement so they would be well-prepared and highly effective teachers for our local contexts. This expansion program will be known as the NBBTRP
