The CSU Monterey Bay Teacher Residency is an innovative teacher preparation program and partnership between CSUMB and school districts in Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito counties.
The mission of CSUMB's Teacher Residency is to enhance student achievement by preparing, supporting, and retaining exceptional teachers. These teachers reflect the rich diversity of the central coast region's student population and are committed to teaching in the public schools of our partner districts.
Whether you are an undergraduate student preparing to earn your post-baccalaureate degree in education or a professional seeking a career change, we encourage you to apply to become a CSUMB Teacher Resident with one of our partnering districts.
