Texas Strategic Staffing aims to improve student performance, find, and retain excellent educators, and address hiring needs in critical vacancies by preparing teacher residents via a sustainably funded residency program that provides scaffolded preparation for residents with highly effective mentor teachers.
Vision
Teacher residents receive specialized on-the-job training while simultaneously completing teacher certification requirements as they are enrolled in an EPP.
Teacher residents benefit districts by fulfilling specific instructional positions at the campus level while in residency, such as substitutes, long-term substitutes, tutors, team teachers, co-teaching, and providing release time.
Texas Strategic Staffing is a two-year process that begins with a year of Design and then a year of Implementation. Here at Region 4, we recognize that year three of any work is paramount to helping change occur. As such, we want to inform our partners that there does exist an opportunity for extending services for a third year to ensure the sustainability of Texas Strategic Staffing in your district.
