My favorite aspect of the Alder residency is that you are a real co-teacher for the entire school year. This allows you to build amazing relationships with your students and families, as well as colleagues. You really become a part of your school community. — Anita Rodriguez, Alum

Earn your Master’s Degree and Teaching Credential in one year.
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) with all year, paving the way to becoming lifelong friends and colleagues.
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.
