D.  \nSenior Associate Director, Science Education  \nProfessional Development Center for Educators | University of Delaware | 200 Academy Street | Newark, DE 19716  \nWhat is the issue?  \nSince the Great Recession, enrollment in Delaware’s educator preparation programs (EPPs) have declined significantly (see Table 1) . That decline mirrors a national trend as enrollment across the United States fell 35% between 2010 and 2018. Meanwhile, the percentage of students completing EPPs also declined nationally by 27% . However, the decrease in Delaware during the same period was significantly greater than the national average with a nearly 60% decline in enrollment and 43% decline in program completion. i Notably, teacher turnover in Delaware was 3% higher than the national average for the sametime periodii with attrition highest among teachers within their first five years of practice, ranging between 19% and 30% . iii  \n\n| Table 1 |\n| --- |\n| Number of students enrolled in Delaware educator preparation programs by academic year. |\n\n\n| Academic Year\u003Cbr>2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Traditional | 3,037 | 3,418 | 2,735 | 1,974 | 1,809 | 1,761 | 1,227 | 1,297 |\n| Alternative, IHE-based | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 116 | 146 | 159 |\n| Alternative, not IHE-based | 105 | 144 | 123 | 94 | 150 | 5 | 16 | n. d. |\n\nData obtained from: [https://title2.ed.gov/Public/Home.aspx](https://title2.ed.gov/Public/Home.aspx)  \n[udel.edu/ppe](udel.edu/ppe | ppe-info@udel.edu |)[ |](udel.edu/ppe | ppe-info@udel.edu |)[ ppe-info@udel.edu](udel.edu/ppe | ppe-info@udel.edu |)[ |](udel.edu/ppe | ppe-info@udel.edu |)  @UDPPE  \nStudent achievement is undermined by high attrition as a function of shortcomings in teacher preparation, teacher inexperience, and overall instability of a school’s instructional staff. Schools suffer from diminished collegial relationships, lack of institutional knowledge, and the expense of training new teachers who more than likely will not remain in their positions long term. Research shows that school stability, coupled with shared planning and collaboration, helps teachers improve their effectiveness. Additionally, teachers improve more rapidly in supportive and collegial working environments. iv  \nStudent enrollment in PK-12 schools is expected to increase nationally by 3 million students (53 million total) in the next decade.v Increases in student enrollment, combined with rates of teacher attrition, indicate a need for programs and policies that mitigate attrition and support rapid and ongoing development of highly-qualified PK-12 teachers.  \nWhat are teacher residencies?  \nAlthough there is no single definition or model for teacher residencies, there are general characteristics that set apart this mode of teacher preparation from traditional forms. Teacher residencies can occur as part of a four-year undergraduate program in education in which the residency period substitutes for traditional student teaching. On the other hand, teacher residencies can be part of a post-baccalaureate program of study that leads to initial certification. In all cases, teacher residencies are yearlong, paid internships in which teacher residents (i. e., teacher candidates) learn the craft of teaching alongside a master teacher (i. e., resident mentor), beginning with the first day of school and ending with the last. This model differs from traditional student teaching in which teacher candidates begin and end their student teaching experience based on the EPP’s academic calendar and not that of the local education agency (LEA) in which the clinical placement occurs. Teacher residents typically receive structured coaching and feedback from their master teacher and EPP faculty at more frequent int","cbCaijZ7SlfTcjRU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijZ7SlfTcjRU","pdf",390692,"English","# What is the issue?\n# What are teacher residencies?\n# Why teacher residencies?\n# How are teacher residencies different?","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the policy brief focus on in Delaware?\",\"answer\":\"The brief focuses on statewide teacher shortages, linked to declining enrollment in educator preparation programs and higher teacher turnover, especially among teachers in their first five years.\"},{\"question\":\"What are teacher residencies, according to the brief?\",\"answer\":\"Teacher residencies are yearlong, paid internships where teacher residents learn alongside a master teacher and receive structured coaching and feedback.
