Clemson University senior Ellie Jameson, one of the first Clemson students to seek a Master’s degree through Clemson College of Education’s innovative Teacher Residency program, sits in her classroom at La France Elementary School in Pendleton, S.C., Sept. 8, 2018. Teacher residencies are a research-based method to increase teacher retention and preparedness as well as student achievement. At the heart of Clemson’s residency program is the college’s combined degree option for undergraduate education students. This degree option replaces student teaching in a student’s final undergraduate semester with graduate education classes, and the following year is comprised of a year-round teacher residency. The residency program will see its graduates emerge after five years with both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in education as well as an extended, year-long student teaching experience.
