teacher residency programs

Submitted by jccohen on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 2:07pm.

jcb2013,

You make a great point about teacher residency programs. In fact, 'alternative certification' programs are set up to almost inevitably attract large numbers of outsiders into a community, and the people running the programs are also not generally from the communities, and since these are usually two year commitments there's also not an element built in that would facilitate program-community connections.  Given all of this, how could these programs rethink their methods along these lines, or more immediately, how could individuals going into these programs adjust their entry to provide some ways of learning from and about the communities they're entering?
