Teacher Residency Program Expectations Matrix

The Teacher Residency Program Expectations Matrix is a quarter-by-quarter pacing guide that formally outlines the increasing expectations and responsibilities for residents throughout their yearlong clinical practice. The matrix details the progression of co-teaching models, resident take-over of instruction, and the use of strategic observations and reflection (using CSTPs) for continuous improvement. This essential tool also sets non-negotiable site expectations for daily hours and specific instructional techniques (like Teach Like A Champion methods) to ensure consistency and rigor across the program.
