Abstract: The U.S. Department of 

Education (ED)’s Institute of Education 

Sciences (IES) requests clearance for 

data collection activities to support a 

study of teacher residency programs. 

Teacher residency programs aim to 

better prepare new teachers by 

combining education coursework with 

extensive on-the-job training. Program 

participants complete a full-year 

apprenticeship, or ‘‘residency,’’ under 

the supervision of an experienced 

mentor teacher before they become 

teachers of record. The programs help 

meet the needs of their partner districts 

by preparing teachers to fill shortages in 

high-needs schools and subjects. They 

offer financial support for residents in 

exchange for a commitment to teach for 

at least three to five years in the district, 

in an effort to improve teacher retention. 

This financial support may also help 

expand the pool of teacher candidates 

by encouraging people to enter the 

profession who might be deterred by the 

cost of a traditional teacher preparation 

program. This request covers collection 

of classroom rosters from schools to 

randomly assign students to teachers 

and to monitor any movement between 

study classes during the school year. A 

future request will cover all remaining 

instruments and data collection 

activities.
