RESIDENCY PROGRAMS DEVELOPMENT
We are proud to serve districts to initiate, expand, and sustain teacher and school counselor residency programs that staff your hardest-to-fill positions and support future educator recruitment and retention. SRTAC assists you to secure grant funding through the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC), including support for Teacher Residency and School Counselor Residency Grants when application cycles are available.
Connect with your Regional Hub leader for more information about recruiting and retaining an effective educator workforce.
