| The U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences is conducting a study of teacher residency programs. The study will provide valuable information on the extent to which residency programs help districts fill hard-to-staff positions and diversify their teacher workforce. As part of this study, we are asking for information from the 2024-25 school year on (1) all newly hired teachers, and (2) newly hired teachers from teacher residency programs. |

| How will the data be used? | |||||||||
| Per the policies and procedures required by the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002, Title I, Part E, Section 183, responses to this data collection will be used only for research purposes. Information gathered through this form will be used to understand how teacher residency programs help districts fill hard-to-staff positions and diversify their teacher workforce. The information in this study will be used only in ways that will not reveal your identity or your district. Neither you or your district will be identified in any publication from this study. The goal of this form is to produce a report that describes information on new hires across multiple districts. We will not report results separately by district. A restricted-use file will be produced as part of this study to provide other researchers the opportunity to replicate the study’s findings or pursue additional analyses. The restricted-use file will include no district or residency program identifiers. Access to the restricted-use file will be limited to only those researchers licensed by the National Center for Education Statistics to use the data for research purposes only. These researchers are subject to National Center for Education Statistics standards for conducting research and protecting data confidentiality. Specifically, the use of these data is protected by federal statutes and regulations; authorized researchers are subject to the laws, regulations, and penalties that apply to use of confidential data held by the Institute of Education Sciences. |
