| Abstract: | Teacher residencies offer a comprehensive preparation model addressing local needs. Residents work alongside an experienced mentor teacher for a full year while completing credential coursework. California has invested more than $740 million in the residency model since 2018, and residencies are also funded through other sources. This study examines California's residency programs, analyzing the experiences and outcomes of residents and comparing them to those of new teachers from other preparation pathways. The number of residents statewide has more than quadrupled between 2018-19 and 2024-25, now accounting for 10% of teaching candidates. This analysis finds that California's residencies recruit a racially diverse teacher workforce, offer better-supported clinical experiences, and are highly rated by their graduates. Compared to other new teachers, residents have higher passing rates on the California Teaching Performance Assessment, have higher entry rates into teaching while working in schools serving more economically disadvantaged students and students of color, and have higher retention rates in their schools and districts. |
