ST Louis Teacher Residency

Founded In 2018, Teach St. Louis (formerly St. Louis Teacher Residency) launched to improve Teacher quality and retention in St. Louis, a city where 40% of new teachers exit the classroom in their first three years. Teach St. Louis partnered with National Center for Teacher Residencies (NCTR) to develop and launch the first and only Teacher Residency program in the St. Louis region. Our model focused on training aspiring teachers who were capable of accelerating student achievement from the moment they entered the classroom as a Teacher of record. Today, our programs focus not only on teachers new to the profession, but on teachers and educators at every stage of their career. We have expanded our work and impact, partnering with schools and districts to ensure that more students in St. Louis are taught by a well-prepared, committed, and effective educator.
