Focusing on two partner districts’ needs for TK/K, SPED, and BIPOC educators, NBECSR will design a Teacher Residency Program that increases and diversifies the pool of well-qualified teachers by (1) building the capacity of the districts and SSU to plan a successful Teacher Residency that incorporates pre-service teachers in grades TK-5 and (2) recruiting and retaining high-quality local teacher candidates who reflect the demographics of local students. NBECSR will recruit, prepare, and retain new teachers in the following areas: Multiple Subject (MS) Credential to teach TK/K; Dual Credential: MS plus PreK-3 Credential; SPED; Diversifying Teacher Workforce that reflect the local educational agency community’s diversity.
