Teacher Residency Program
Saint Mary's College has partnered with the San Ramon Valley Unified School District and Brentwood Union School District to pilot new teacher residency programs.
A “Teacher Residency Program” offers a unique synthesis of theory and practice, combining a yearlong classroom apprenticeship with a carefully aligned sequence of coursework. Teacher residents will earn a credential upon completion of the program, and may be eligible to receive a stipend for living expenses throughout their training year.
Interested candidates apply to the Saint Mary's College Credential Program and then apply with the district. Please note that residency positions are expected to be in high demand. The final deadline to apply is January 15, 2025.
San Ramon Valley Unified School District:
- Single Subject Credential Residency (Math, Science, Technology, Engineering only)
- Education Specialist (Special Education) Credential Residency
Brentwood Union School District (pending approval):
- Multiple Subject Credential Residency
Candidates must meet all requirements for the credential programs.
