Job Description:
Posting Details Term Length Teacher Residency Programs build on the medical residency model:
residents gradually build their knowledge and skills in a classroom
with students, working alongside an experienced mentor teacher,
while simultaneously learning about the core of teaching in their
university courses. Because residents' learning is directly
connected to what is actually happening in the classroom, every
program aspect relates to developing a well-informed and
well-prepared teacher through a practice-based approach with a
focus on understanding the context and culture of the schools where
teachers will serve. With this, residents can more effectively
serve and respond to diverse student populations in urban and high
needs classrooms. Since 2018, CPS and National Louis University have
partnered to offer MAT Teacher Residency Programs in
the following areas of district-indicated high needs: Residents in the above programs are current CPS
paraprofessionals or career changers, new to the field of
teaching. The Residency Field Coach ( RFC ) role is crucial
to the success of this program. The RFC will provide
direct coaching and guidance to both resident teacher candidates
and their CPS Mentor Teacher for one full academic
school year (Fall through Spring terms). Different from NCE's
traditional Supervision model, the RFC will have this
stronger focus on coaching the Mentor Teacher on how to use
assessment and performance to coach their resident teacher as many
Mentors need additional support in giving effective feedback.
Together, CPS , NLU , and the
RFC will agree on key strategies and components of
instruction, forms of assessment, and a framework for evaluation of
performance. The common language will help codify expectations
across the program for coaching and assessing. The RFC
and Mentor Teachers should regularly norm and discuss expectations
for coaching and resident performance so they align with the common
language of the program. The Residency Field Coach's primary responsibilities
include: About NLU Founded in 1886, National Louis University is a private
