The Marshall Teacher Residency is a one-year, accelerated teacher preparation program providing hands-on clinical practice, personalized mentoring, in-classroom coaching, and a collaborative community. As one of the most comprehensive residencies for aspiring teachers in the nation, we provide a pathway to Single and Multiple Subject Teaching, as well as Education Specialist Instruction. Designed in partnership with experts from Stanford University, and born out of Summit Public Schools, we partner with schools throughout California.

As a Marshall Teacher Resident, you learn by doing:

• Classroom Immersion: Your clinical placement will be in the classroom 6–8 hours per day, four days per week through an entire school year. With consistent coaching from your Cooperating Teacher, you’ll hone your craft and skill as you evolve from observation, to co-teaching, to leading the classroom.

• Values-Aligned Instruction: Starting with a summer intensive and continuing one day per week throughout the school year, you’ll gather with a diverse cohort of Residents to master the credentialing coursework. Led by expert faculty, coursework is project-based and integrated with your clinical experience. The instruction you’ll receive reflects our core values, including deep self-reflection, culturally responsive teaching methods, and conversations about equity and inclusion.

• Mentoring and Collaboration: You’ll benefit from multiple levels of support on your journey, including 1:1 mentoring, in-classroom coaching, and a connected community of Residents. You will examine how theory from the coursework applies to what’s happening in your clinical placement. You’ll receive personalized support through coaching and mentorship. And, you’ll learn from other Residents’ experiences across different school sites while building a professional network.
