Woodbridge School District is proud to partner with Delaware Technical Community College (Del Tech) and Relay Graduate School of Education to host eight yearlong teacher residents across three of our schools.

Throughout the school year, residents are immersed in the classroom experience, working alongside experienced cooperating teachers who provide ongoing mentorship, guidance, and support as they develop their instructional practice. This partnership is designed to strengthen both the teacher pipeline and the professional capacity of our current educators. Cooperating teachers participate in ongoing teacher leader professional development focused on strengthening their coaching skills and building a collaborative community of learners. Residents will also engage in targeted professional development opportunities focused on essential skills, including classroom management, internalizing lesson plans, and preparing for the interview process.

In January, we look forward to bringing all stakeholders together for a luncheon to celebrate the residents' halfway milestone, recognize the commitment of our cooperating teachers, and reflect on the growth and successes of this collaborative partnership.
