What's going on with the Seattle Urban Teacher Residency Program, that collaboration
between the College of Education, Seattle Public Schools, and the Alliance for Education+ funded by the Seattle Foundation? http://www.scribd.com/doc/58110593/Data-to-Plan-Urban-Teacher-Residency
http://www.alliance4ed.org/utrprogramdirector.asp

Who has been hired as the program director?

Good question, OSM. As one of her last acts, Wendy London reported on the UTR - yet another ed reform initiative to distract and confuse SPS' efforts to stick to the knitting.

Seattle Urban Teacher Residency Program

Got all the usual buzzwords "prepare teachers for the complexity of teaching in the 21st century", "program management", "coaching", "strategic placement in high-needs schools"

What about retention (TFA's is 50% in Seattle 3 out of 6 are hasta la vista baby). What about recruitment for diversity? What about less what LEV wants and more best practices?

mirmac1: I don't necessarily want teacher names, but could you identify (maybe by school and subject taught) the original 6 and the 3 who are gone? And are they gone at the end of year 1, year 2, or later?

Trying to keep my TfA ducks in a row!

Thanks

Aki - three SS/LA - one gone
WMS - one SpED - gone
SS - Elem
RBHS - Bilingual, oops, Spanish - gone
And, as well, one of them in Federal Way cut out a couple of months into his/her stint.

Thanks! You are absolutely correct; adding more of these ed deforms exist to distract and confuse.
