Since 2019, WestEd has partnered with the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) to conduct an external formative evaluation of the Teacher Residency Grant Program (TRGP). This evaluation is designed to support

  • policymakers in fostering a policy environment that sustains and grows residency programs;
  • residency practitioners in navigating implementation challenges and identifying effective solutions; and
  • technical assistance providers, including SRTAC, in meeting the evolving needs of grantees.

As the TRGP expands with additional funding and programs, this evaluation helps interest holders learn from and strengthen this vital state initiative through key findings and recommendations.
