[https://journals.sagepub.com/home/ero](https://journals.sagepub.com/home/ero)  \nExploring Whether and How Teacher Residencies Offera Different Kind of Preparation  \nMatthew Truwit  \nMatthew Ronfeldt  \nUniversity of Michigan  \nEmanuele Bardelli  \nSanta Rosa City Schools  \nThe past two decades have seen the rise of the residency model, another nontraditional pathway to certification that offers an intensive, practice-based, context-specific preparation designed to address shortages in hard-to-staff districts. Although advocates call the model innovative, research examining residencies at scale warrants skepticism around whether they truly offer a distinctive preparation. Surveying all programs across Tennessee about their adoption of features that characterize the model, we find that residencies offer a unique pathway to teaching in some expected ways though not all. Specifically, residencies reported longer clinical placements, more financial support for residents, and higher rates of mentor training, though they mostly did not report unique practices of candidate recruitment, district partnership, mentor selection, or curricular design. Moreover, we see that the distinctiveness of the model is in decline, with evidence of its dilution among newer residencies and the spread of its features among traditional programs.  \nKeywords: teacher education programs, student teaching, pre-service teachers  \nOver the past two decades, teacher residencies have become an increasingly popular way to prepare teachers, particularly for addressing shortages in hard-to-staff districts and subject areas (Guha et al., 2016). Under the residency model, teacher preparation programs partner with local districts to provide diverse and highly qualified prospective teachers with context-specific preparation through a yearlong clinical experience serving the same student populations for whom they will later become teachers of record.  \nAdvocates argue that the residency model offers a unique and superior pathway to certification (Berry et al. , 2008; Guha et al. , 2016; National Center for Teacher Residencies, n.d.-a; Silva et al. , 2014), while others are skeptical that the residency model is truly as “innovative”as claimed (e.g., Reagan et al., 2021) . We believe this is an empirical question. To answer it, we report the results of a novel survey administered to all program leaders in Tennessee to explore how distinct residencies truly are from traditional programs, comparing average differences in the presence of the program features that typically characterize the residency model as well as how these differences have changed over time.  \nWe find that residencies consistently report offering preparatory experiences that are distinct from those at traditional programs in terms of clinical placement length, financial incentives for residents, and, to a lesser extent, support for mentors; however, other features, like an integrated curriculum, a highly involved partner district, and highquality candidates in high-needs areas, characterize both residencies and nonresidencies at similar rates. Moreover, while these observed distinctions are clearest for the subset of programs considered by external organizations as truly embodying the residency model, they are significantly reduced when expanding to all programs whose leaders claimed to have fully adopted the model. Finally, we find evidence that the distinctiveness of the model may be declining over time, due to the rise of self-identified “partial” residencies, which mostly appear to offer a traditional pathway to teaching, as well as the increased adoption by nonresidencies of many features associated with the model.  \nThe Teacher Residency Model  \nInspired by ","cbCaigv7Bwdv7Yk1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigv7Bwdv7Yk1","pdf",1798591,21,"English","# Introduction\n# The Teacher Residency Model\n# Key Findings\n## Distinctive Preparation Features\n## Changes Over Time","[{\"question\":\"What question does the article investigate about teacher residencies?\",\"answer\":\"It examines whether and how teacher residencies offer a different, more distinctive kind of preparation compared with traditional programs, and how those differences change over time.\"},{\"question\":\"What residency features show the biggest differences from traditional programs?\",\"answer\":\"Residencies report longer clinical placements, more financial support for residents, and higher rates of mentor training, while many other features are not consistently unique.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article describe trends in the model’s distinctiveness?\",\"answer\":\"The article finds evidence that distinctiveness may be declining, with dilution among newer residencies and the spread of model features into traditional programs, including the growth of “partial” residencies.\"}]","Exploring Whether and How Teacher Residencies Offera Different Kind of Preparation | PDF",1792069144,53]
