The program features a year-long residency program in a classroom, as well as coursework designed to help educators address the complex social and emotional environments of their learners. Teachers in this program will be prepared to work collaboratively with other school professionals, communicate and work effectively with parents, and work to advocate for the rights of all children to have a meaningful education.
