WIDER (Windsor Initiative to Diversify Educators Residency) Program is designed to provide support to teaching credential students in the WIDER Program and their mentor teachers through in-kind and financial support. In-kind support includes professional development opportunities, cohort-based meetings, one-on-one feedback, and high-quality mentoring. Financial support includes stipends.

To meet the need of the ever-increasing need for teachers in California public schools, particularly in the areas of bilingual education, special education, and STEM education, SSU has partnered with Napa Valley Unified School District (NVUSD) and Santa Rosa City Schools (SRCS) to prepare teacher candidates in the North Bay Teacher Residency Program (NBTRP).
