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.
