Anaheim Residency for Math and Science
Anaheim Residency for Math and Science
After four successful years, the Santa Ana residency is coming to an end. However, we are excited to welcome a new math and science residency with Anaheim Union High School District. The Anaheim residency will support 3 math candidates and 2 science candidates, for a total of 5 candidates. More information on the Anaheim residency is forthcoming. Check out some takeaways from our former residents and the fall newsletter from our current residents (see below).
NOTE: Although the Santa Ana Residency is ending, the math and science teachers want to continue a legacy of support and collaboration with our MAT candidates. If you are a math or science candidate, you are more than welcome to request Valley High School for your placement to continue this partnership.

What is a teacher residency?
Building 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 three to four years beyond the residency.

Dr. Roberto G. Gonzales is Professor of Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education. He is also the Director of the Immigration Initiative at Harvard. His research examines the effects of legal contexts on the coming-of-age experiences of vulnerable and hard-to-reach immigrant youth populations. To deepen understanding about the lived experiences of undocumented students, UCI's MAT candidates read Lives in Limbo at the start of the program.

MAT Course Schedule
MAT Course Schedule
All MAT courses will be in person on UCI's campus (with the exception of one or two classes for the 2023-2024 school year). Regarding Covid, we remain committed to following the policies set by the California governor, the California Teaching Commission (CTC), and UCI leadership.
Your summer course schedules will be sent to you via email by early May. If you have any questions or concerns about joining the MAT program, that is completely understandable. It is better to be honest with yourself before you commit your time, effort, and money. If you would like to discuss a possible deferral to the 2023-2024 school year, please send me an email and we can discuss your options. Welcome Anteaters!
