Mission
Throughout the country, urban public schools and districts face teacher shortages and challenges associated with teacher quality and retention. This need is especially acute in St. Louis where 40% of new teachers exit the classroom within their first three years. St. Louis Teacher Residency recruits, trains, and supports aspiring teachers who are capable of accelerating student achievement from the moment they enter the classroom as a teacher of record. Through a selective recruitment process, STLTR attracts a diverse group of talented second-career entrants and college graduates. The STLTR model blends a rigorous full-year classroom apprenticeship with a carefully aligned sequence of academic coursework. Residents learn how to teach by working alongside a master teacher, and coursework is tailored to the local, St. Louis context. STLTR candidates commit to teach in their partner district or school for a minimum of three years following the completion of the apprenticeship.
