| Abstract: |
The Texas Education Agency launched the High-Quality, Sustainable Residencies Program--a grantfunded effort to establish and sustain teacher residencies--in 2021. Part of the Texas COVID Learning Acceleration Supports (TCLAS) initiative, this grant supported residency programs across the state, implemented through partnerships between school districts and educator preparation programs (EPPs), with paid placements for more than 2,000 residents. The grant also provided technical assistance for these districts to adopt "strategic staffing" models to sustain paid residencies after the end of grant funding. This brief highlights crucial features and requirements of the TCLAS residency grant program that have continued to shape residency-focused implementation and enable sustainability efforts at both the state and local levels. These features include required residency model and district--EPP partnership elements, shared residency program governance between partners, and technical assistance aimed at building local and regional capacity to embed strategic staffing structures for sustainable funding. |
