“I feel lucky to be placed with a mentor who has experience as a teacher and mentor. Because of her previous experience as a mentor, she’s able to help me a lot with my program requirements and deadlines, all while helping me grow in the classroom.”

Teacher Resident Alumna

“Having a mentor that is able to give you feedback versus just getting feedback on your coursework is invaluable because you can immediately use that feedback the next time you return to the classroom"

Jarvis Douglas

Teacher Resident Alumnus

“It was a pretty natural jump going into the residency program and then into my first year. It felt like all the pieces were connecting and it didn't feel like I was thrown into the deep end. I felt like I knew what each stage brought.”
