We are excited to announce that ESTR-B has raised the stipend to $38,600! With that new amount and the opportunity to substitute, resident students can earn almost $50,000. Apply now at CSUB for the 2024 Cohort 3 Residency.

The teacher residency programs at California State University, Bakersfield provide residents with a co-teaching apprenticeship for a full academic year (minimum of 3 days per week). Credential program coursework is co-constructed with university faculty and district leaders and is delivered at school sites in a cohort model. University and district leaders work collaboratively to establish criteria for joint selection of placement sites, mentors, and residents. The teacher residency programs provide financial support to residents that may be used for tuition and/or living expenses, and residency mentors are also financially compensated. Residents commit to teach in the district if they are offered a teaching position. The Residency Model program is available at the Bakersfield campus.
