Clinical Residency I

Clinical Residency I, is the first of three intensive clinical residencies. In this first clinical residency, candidates will have multiple, scaffolded opportunities to apply what they are learning in their college course work in real secondary (i.e., grades 7-12) classrooms as they endeavor to create safe and culturally sustaining learning environments that inspire critical engagement. Candidates will reflect on and revise their teaching practice in authentic, diverse, urban teaching situations within their respective content area specializations. Candidates will be provided with significant support from both faculty and mentor teachers so that by the end of the semester, candidates are well on their way to developing and demonstrating knowledge, skills, and professional dispositions in fundamental aspects of pedagogy that are consistent with research-validated, discipline specific, best-practices for promoting student learning and well- being.
