In September 2020, Montclair State University (MSU), in partnership with the Newark Board of Education (NBOE) and Orange Public Schools (OPS), won a $3.6 million grant from the USDOE to implement an urban teacher residency called Urban Teacher Residency at Montclair State University (UTR@MSU). Together, we will improve student achievement by applying rigorous research-based teacher preparation to the concrete needs of two school district partners. UTR@MSU is designed to recruit talented individuals, especially people of color and individuals from other occupations, into the teaching force; improve the quality of both new and prospective teachers; increase teacher retention rates; and ultimately improve student achievement.<\/p>\n

Specifically, UTR@MSU\u2019s goals are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To recruit and prepare high-quality, dually-certified prospective teachers for partner districts (NBOE and OPS) through a teacher residency for individuals who reflect the diverse communities of Newark and Orange, who have strong academic backgrounds and who will educate students in special education across PK-12, and in all subject areas.<\/li>\n
  2. To improve the quality and retention of mentor teachers in partner districts through professional development aligned to residency curricular goals.<\/li>\n
  3. To improve the quality and retention of novice teachers in partner districts by supporting program graduates with an induction program, ongoing professional development, and a network of local and national, high quality educators.<\/li>\n
  4. To disseminate and scale the exemplary teacher residency model by incorporating key elements into MSU\u2019s teacher education program, strengthening the partnership with NBOE’s induction program, extending the model into a new partnership with OPS, and informing the field of urban teacher education.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Critical aspects of UTR@MSU include a residency that provides classroom immersion, mentorship, and induction services, combined with professional development that benefits both teacher residents and experienced educators. Additional key features of UTR@MSU include: the use of a cohort structure; anti-racist and social justice pedagogies; induction support; collaborative inquiry, and professional learning communities; collaboration across the University and the schools; focus on teacher development; and emphasis on a connection between theory and practice.<\/p>\n

    As a result of UTR@MSU, teacher residents will be prepared to serve in our partner district schools. Each teacher resident will receive a Master of Arts in Teaching degree, teaching certification with an endorsement in teaching students with disabilities and will be Highly Qualified in their area of licensure.<\/p>\n
