Urban Teacher Residencies (UTRs) are district-based teacher education programs that pair master's-level education content with a rigorous full-year classroom practicum. Based on the medical residency model, UTRs are designed to combat high teacher turnover rates and better prepare aspiring teachers for the urban classroom, giving them the experience and support they need to be effective right away.

The Residency for Residencies Program, or RRP, is a two-year-long program of comprehensive guidance and support for school districts, not-for-profit organizations and universities who are developing residency-based teacher preparation programs.
