Summary
Santa Barbara Unified and Westmont College launch a bold new teacher residency program funded by a $2.4 million state grant, aiming to train 15 diverse educators annually for four years. Residents will co-teach three days a week in local schools while earning credits at Westmont, gaining real classroom experience alongside mentor teachers. Designed to break down financial and pathway barriers, the program empowers graduates to teach in their hometowns — inspiring students by reflecting their communities in the classroom. Applications open June 10 for those with a bachelor’s degree and a passion for teaching. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
