The UTEP College of Education, in partnership with local districts, is now offering teacher candidates the opportunity to engage in a year-long, coaching-intensive, paid student-teaching experience, called the Miner Teacher Residency.
The Miner Teacher Residency involves a full year of hands-on clinical preparation in an elementary, middle, or high school classroom, alongside a carefully selected and trained Mentor Teacher. In addition, residents receive ongoing coaching and support from a UTEP Site Coordinator, a UTEP faculty member who is based on-site at partner campuses.
The goal of the Miner Teacher Residency is to prepare the highest-quality teachers who are Day 1-ready to meet the needs of culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse learners and to provide rigorous, high-quality learning experiences for all students.
