SRVUSD Seeks Applicants For Teaching Residency Program

DANVILLE, CA — The San Ramon Valley Unified School District is launching a residency program in partnership with Saint Mary’s College of California that will pair aspiring students with experienced SRVUSD mentor teachers.

Starting in the fall, teaching residents will work at a district school and assist an SRVUSD teacher for the year. They will gain hands-on experience in lesson planning, classroom management, and student support. Teaching residents will earn a $32,500 stipend for tuition and expenses, individualized support and mentorship, guaranteed substitute work two days per week, priority hiring upon completion of the program, and $500 toward exam fees.

The program is funded by a two-year grant from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. No funds from its existing budget were used.

The district is looking for applicants, and is hosting information sessions on Wednesday, April 17 from 5-6 (virtual) and Thursday, April 25 from 4-5 at the Workday Center at Monte Vista High School. See here to register.
