Program outcome reporting for the UCLA IMPACT ECE/Multiple Subject program (2010–2014) states it prepared "50 new, fully licensed teachers" with 72% identifying as teachers of color; the brief separately reports 87% retained in the district for at least 3 years. Descriptive figures; endnotes note some figures draw on all residents, not just the ECE cohort.

"Over four cohorts, the IMPACT program prepared 50 new, fully licensed teachers, 72% of whom identified as teachers of color,34 with expertise in early childhood."

Related Claims¶

• Teachers who enter without completed preparation are typically less effective and have significantly higher turnover than prepared teachers — a broader claim this one bears on
• Residency completers are retained at higher rates than other new teachers in the same districts — a broader claim this one bears on
• Well-prepared and well-mentored teachers stay in teaching at more than twice the rate of unprepared entrants, and teacher residency programs typically retain more than 80% over five years — a broader claim this one bears on
• Fresno Unified's TK–3 residency placed 30 new early-grade teachers in 2 years with an 83% retention rate as of spring 2022 — related
• Teachers of color disproportionately enter through alternative certification pathways, which predict higher turnover — related
• Residency graduates show high retention rates of roughly 80-90% after three years and 70-80% after five years — a broader claim this one bears on
