q2 · i? · associational · r?

From the same CTC 2021–22 and 2022–23 program completer survey analyses: residency completers "reported more intensive clinical experiences with higher levels of support and feedback" and had higher first-attempt performance assessment passage. No effect sizes are printed.

"In addition, residency completers reported more intensive clinical experiences with higher levels of support and feedback and were more likely to pass teaching performance assessments on their first attempt."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Sufficient clinical feedback predicts TPA passing for preservice candidates but not for internship candidates — related
• Preservice candidates pass teaching performance assessments at higher rates than intern candidates — related
• Residents pass TPAs on their first attempt at higher rates than student teachers or interns in the linked subsample — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Residency graduates report strongly positive perceptions of their preparation, and principals tend to perceive them as more effective than other novice teachers — related
• Clinical support (communication, observation, feedback) is strongly related to perceived preparation effectiveness, yet 43% of preservice completers reported less than the required 600 hours of student teaching — related
• Residents reported more intensive clinical experiences than other pathways, with 66% completing at least 600 hours of student teaching versus 51% of traditional student teachers — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
