| Abstract: | This paper discusses a teacher residency model that has been collaboratively developed with a mid-sized urban school district struggling with high teacher turnover and a mid-sized university working to support our partner district and provide beneficial clinical experiences for our candidates. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of literature related to teacher recruitment and retention and teacher residency programs, describe our model and its success in recruiting diverse teacher candidates, and describe the successes and challenges of program implementation. We conclude with implications for future practice and research. We hope through this paper to share the benefits and challenges of our particular paid residency model as we work to strengthen approaches to recruiting, supporting, and retaining a diverse teaching pool. |
