Math & Science Single Subject Teacher Residency Mentor
The Marshall Teacher Residency seeks to support the next generation of teachers in building the skills, mindsets, and practices to lead high-quality student-centered classrooms. The residency is a one year program during which Residents are immersed in classrooms while also completing credentialing coursework leading to a California Preliminary Teaching Credential. The residency program was designed in collaboration with the Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning and Equity (SCALE), as well as experts and practitioners in the field.
The Marshall Teacher Residency was established in 2017 and has continued to grow - we now place Residents in classrooms across California through a wide array of school partners, training over 90 new teachers per year across 3 program areas. The residency program started by offering Single Subject teaching credentials, and now offers Multiple Subjects and Education Specialist credentials as well. The Math & Science Single Subject Mentor brings expertise in secondary math and science to ensure single subject math and science candidates have meaningful coursework and clinical experiences they need to succeed during the residency year and beyond. Through collaboration with other Teacher Residency Mentors, the Math & Science Single Subject Mentor is also integral to the success of the entire cohort across program areas.
Throughout the program, Residents work alongside a Cooperating Teacher four days a week for the length of the school year to gradually build their responsibility and independence with all facets of the teacher role. Residents also participate in school site professional development and teacher collaboration structures. The learning experiences and coursework that Residents engage in align with our values about teaching and learning - that classrooms should be student-centered, data-driven, whole child, and anti-racist. Residents demonstrate their learning through authentic projects that are directly applied to their classroom placements. As a cohort, Residents engage in coursework one full day and one afternoon each week; this time is spent in a combination of whole group, small group, and individual learning experiences, depending on the needs of the Residents.
Residents receive support from both a Cooperating Teacher and a Mentor. The Mentor plays the role of both an instructor and coach. As an instructor, the Mentor leads the coursework learning experiences for Residents, while also providing feedback on and assessing their credentialing coursework. The Mentor also observes and coaches 20-23 Residents a minimum of twice each month. This dual role allows the Mentor to support the Residents in making direct connections between the coursework and the experiences they are having at their school placements. The Math and Science Single Mentor is part of the Marshall Teacher Residency program faculty and reports directly to the Senior Program Director. The Marshall Teacher Residency program faculty is composed of a team of Mentors who lead the Multiple Subjects program, Single Subject program, and Education Specialist program. As a team, the Mentors represent a diverse set of expertise, including a wide variety of subject area knowledge, an array of professional backgrounds, and complementary skills. The team works together to deliver holistic support to the entire cohort Residents across program areas, honing in on the intersection between core pedagogical theory and values-aligned practices. Program faculty priorities for SY24-25 include strengthening coherence of the residency experience and differentiating to support varied needs of both Residents and Cooperating Teachers.
