The Commission is pleased to announce its intent to fund 33 Local Education Agencies (LEAs) for the Teacher Residency Grants. This funding will support LEAs to develop or expand a teacher residency pathway with an Institution of Higher Education (IHE) that has a Commission-approved teacher preparation program to prepare special education, STEM, and/or bilingual residents. Funding letters will be sent to grant recipients by early March 2019.
