Our Mission
Our teacher residency program is committed to building a sustainable pipeline into our schools, growing our teacher capacity from within our walls, and developing an intentional diversity strategy that mirrors our school communities.
In partnership with California State University, Northridge, our program seeks to recruit and prepare quality teachers to foster a supportive and inclusive learning environment that encourages growth and development. We believe that investing in our own community by providing pathways for aspiring educators to join our team not only benefits our students, but also strengthens our consortium schools as a whole.
Through CSUN's ACT program & our consortium, we strive to build a sustainable and diverse teaching force that is equipped to meet the evolving needs of our students and communities, and to create a lasting impact in education.

"Research on the impact of the residency model suggests that graduates of teacher
residency programs stay in their districts at much higher rates than those who have entered
through other pathways, stabilizing the teaching force, and they are effective, as judged by
principals who hire them and evidence about their students’ performance. Research also
suggests that, on average, the pool of residents is more racially diverse than new teachers
entering through other pathways."
