Hyler, and Linda Darling-Hammond  \nR  \necruitment and retention challenges are once again leading to teacher shortages across the nation. Especially in urban and rural school districts, low salaries and poor working conditions often contribute to the  \ndifficulties of recruiting and keeping teachers, as can the challenges ofthe work itself. As a consequence, in many schools—especially those serving the most vulnerable populations—students often face a revolving door of teachers over the course of their school careers.1  \nTurnover is higher in districts that meet shortages by hiring teachers who have not completed an adequate preparation, as  \nRoneeta Guha and Maria E. Hyler are senior researchers at the Learning Policy Institute, where Linda Darling-Hammond is the president and CEO. This article is excerpted with permission from their 2016 report The Teacher Residency: An Innovative Model for Preparing Teachers, which is avail[able at www.learningpolicyinstitute.org/product/teacher-residency](able at www.learningpolicyinstitute.org/product/teacher-residency).  \nnovices without training leave after their first year at more than twice the rate of those who have had student teaching and rigorous preparation.2 Similarly, teachers who do not receive mentoring and support in their first years leave teaching at much higher rates than those whose school or district provides such support.3 Under these circumstances, everyone loses: Student achievement is undermined by high rates of teacher turnover and by teachers who are inadequately prepared for the challenges they face. Schools suffer from continual churn, undermining long-term improvement efforts. Districts pay the costs of both students’underachievement and teachers’ high attrition.4  \nNewly emerging teacher residency programs seek to address these problems by offering an innovative approach to recruiting and retaining high-quality teachers. Residencies have typically been focused in hard-to-staff geographic areas (urban and rural) and subject areas (e.g., mathematics, science, special education, and bilingual/English as a second language teaching) . They recruit the teachers that local districts know they will need early, before they are prepared, so that they can then prepare them to excel and remain in these schools. When used in this deliberative  \nILLUSTRAT IONS BY ENRIQUE MOREIRO  \nAMERICAN EDUCATOR | SPRING 2017 31  \nmanner, teacher residencies can address a crucial recruitment need while also building the capacity of districts to provide highquality instruction to the students they serve.  \nThe Design of Teacher Residency Programs  \nBuilding on the medical residency model, teacher residencies provide an alternative pathway to teacher certification grounded in deep clinical training. Residents apprentice alongside an expert teacher in a high-need classroom for a full academic year. They take closely linked coursework from a partnering university that leads to a credential and a master’s degree at the end of the residency year. They receive living stipends and tuition support as they learn to teach; in exchange, they commit to teach in the district for several years beyond the residency.  \nResidents apprentice alongside an expert teacher in a high-need classroom for a full academic year.  \nThis model fosters tight partnerships between local school districtsand teacher preparation programs. Residencies recruit teachers to meet district needs—usually in shortage fields. Then they rigorously prepare them and keep them in the district. While most teacher residencies began in urban districts, consortia of rural districts and charter school organizations have also created them.  \nAlthough many teacher preparation programs have evolved substantially, traditional university-based programs have often been critiqued for being academically and theoretically focused, with limited and discon","cbCaigd4Z8Xtxc3K","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigd4Z8Xtxc3K","pdf",323440,"English","# Recruitment and Retention Challenges\n## Teacher Turnover and Consequences\n# The Design of Teacher Residency Programs\n## Clinical Training and Credential Pathway\n## Partnerships with Districts and Universities\n# Key Characteristics of Teacher Residencies\n## Long Clinical Placement and District-Centered Goals","[{\"question\":\"Why are teacher shortages worsening, according to the document?\",\"answer\":\"Recruitment and retention challenges contribute to shortages, particularly in urban and rural districts.
