The Residency Program is a one-year program, whereas the Intern Program is a two-year program.
As a resident, you are not the teacher of record; therefore, you are not paid a teacher’s salary.
As a resident, you are placed in a classroom for the entire year to learn alongside a mentor teacher. In an intern program, interns are the teachers of record and do not work alongside a mentor teacher daily.
As a resident, you can earn a dual credential (General Education and Special Education) in your residency year.
