North Bay STEM Teacher Residency Program (NBSTEM)

To meet the increasing demand for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) teachers in California public schools, Petaluma City Schools (PCS) and Santa Rosa City Schools (SRCS), in partnership with Sonoma State University's (SSU) School of Education (SOE) will develop a collaborative partnership, called the North Bay STEM Teacher Residency Program (NBSTEM). The goal of this partnership is to provide STEM teacher candidates, with an emphasis on biliteracy, with the opportunity to participate in an intensive teacher residency program (TRP) instead of a traditional student teaching placement so they will be well-prepared and highly effective teachers for our local contexts.
