ICEF Teacher Residency at Alder GSE

This innovative teacher residency program combines immersive hands-on practice in the classroom with educational theory and research in both in person seminars and online courses. It takes place in partnership with K–12 schools in historically underserved communities, and 97% of our graduates obtain full-time teaching positions after completing the program. 

In this residency year you will:
  • Earn your Master’s Degree and Teaching Credential* in one year through Alder Graduate School of Education.
  • Apprentice four days a week with an expert teacher in your residency school.
  • Learn within a cohort of peers with whom you will work (and laugh) all year, paving the way to becoming lifelong friends and colleagues.
  • Build a relationship with an expert instructional leader in K–12 education, who will advise and support you through one-on-one observation and dialogue.
  • Engage in critical conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion with your mentor, instructors, and peers.
  • Receive priority consideration for a full-time position upon completing the program.
  • Do all of this at a cost that is affordable and includes financial support.
