UTR Mentor Expectations
The Urban Teacher Residency (UTR) is a highly selective alternative route to the California Teaching Credential.
UTR Mentors are exemplary urban teachers in math or science.
UTR Mentors host Residents, preservice teachers, in their classrooms all day, four days a week, for the entire school year.

This intensive experience is aimed at the careful preparation of talented teachers who are knowledgeable about and deeply committed to urban children, schools, and communities.
Mentors receive yearlong training and support.
Mentors make a three-year commitment and receive a $3,000 stipend per Resident, per year.

Mentors must be fully credentialed and tenured (if app.) with at least 3 years experience.
They are also recommended by their colleagues and administrators and observed in their classrooms.

Mentors…
Host Residents with patience and grace, initiating positive communication;
Conduct at least once weekly meetings to discuss planning, teaching, and Resident progress;
