Starting Seattle Teachers Learn Alongside Kids in New Apprentice Program
The Seattle Teacher Residency is one of the first programs in the country to include the teachers union as an equal partner, which makes it both a national model and something of a local miracle in a city often roiled by debates about education reform. The collaboration brings together Seattle Public Schools, the UW, the Seattle Education Association and the Alliance for Education, a nonprofit representing local businesses and philanthropies that is providing the startup money.
