About

To work toward equity in the quality of school experiences for historically underserved communities, we must attend to the preparation, support and retention of diverse, learner-ready teachers. Research has shown that intentionally designed, high-quality, paid residencies meet that need. These programs are able to recruit strong, economically and racially diverse candidates; prepare candidates successfully, diminishing the first-year learning curve for new teachers; ensure strong, qualified candidates for high-need positions and hard-to-staff schools; and retain teachers in the profession, reducing turnover and providing stability. The UB Teacher Residency program has been developed in order to achieve those results here in our local community.

  • About Teacher Residency
    11/14/25
    All GSE teacher preparation pathways culminate in a transformative year-long residency that bridges theory and practice.  As a resident teacher, you’ll spend a full school year co-teaching alongside an experienced mentor while completing your coursework.  This immersive experience allows you to apply what you learn in real time, refine your teaching skills, and gain the confidence and experience needed to thrive as a certified educator. Funding may be available to support students prior to and during their school-based residency experience across residency cohort types.
