Annual Report

Explore our impact through our latest annual report data.

Our annual report data documents NCTR’s impact as well as that of our Network partner residencies.

NCTR's latest data collection and analysis indicates that the teacher residency movement is continuing to grow in scale and influence with NCTR's Network residency programs graduating over 2,000 residents during the 2021-2022 academic year.

In spite of national trends that point to declines in enrollment in teacher preparation programs, there was an increase in the number, mean, and median enrollment of residents in NCTR Network residency programs for the 2021-2022 academic year. In fact, for the 2021-2022 academic year, there was an increase from the prior academic year (2020-2021), consistent with the trend of annual increases in the enrollment of residents in NCTR Network residencies since 2017 (with the exception of a slight decrease in the 2019-2020 academic year). Additionally, serving candidates of color continues to be a priority for NCTR’s Network residency programs, with 57 percent of the residents enrolled identifying as a person of color.

Teacher Residents Value Their Residency Program Experience

Teacher residents receive an invaluable experience that prepares them to teach from day one in the classroom through our teacher residency programs. NCTR’s total number of residents enrolled in 2022 and total number of graduates (cumulative for 2021) increased to 2,205 and 7,017, respectively.

Our teacher residents, teacher mentors and partner principals see the difference a teacher residency program can make in their personal and professional lives and the schools and communities in which they serve.
