Why Choose the Oakland Teacher Residency?
Why Choose the Oakland Teacher Residency?
The Oakland Teacher Residency offers a thoughtful and supportive immersive apprenticeship experience for aspiring educators. This ensures Oakland teacher residents are trained, prepared, and grounded on day one of teaching. National research shows that educators prepared through a teaching residency are both more effective and stay longer than their peers trained through other pathways.
A teacher residency is a full year of immersive classroom experience with an experienced mentor teacher in the field while receiving financial support. Resident Teachers are paid a base stipend of $29,148 for the year of student teaching. In exchange, Residents are expected to make a commitment to teaching at least 4 years in OUSD schools upon receiving their preliminary credential.
