Description

Alder's framework for proactively coordinating academic, financial, social, health, housing, and career supports for teacher-residency candidates facing barriers to completing graduate-level preparation.

Components

  • Alder's high-touch, whole adult support approach to resident success: The report describes Alder's organizing approach as a "high-touch, whole adult" model: recognizing that financial precarity and systemic inequities can block candidates' skill development, the program wraps residents in academic, financial, and social supports. An Office of Student Services proactively identified challenges "both through surveys and one-on-one conversations" and connected students with financial, food, housing, health care, academic, social, and hiring supports matched to need. The approach is framed as key to preparing the diverse educator pool Alder recruits. (Yun et al. (2025))
