Residency experiences are offered in public, private, and charter schools in rural, urban, and suburban schools across Colorado. We welcome culturally diverse candidates including multilingual learners. Most residents receive $32,000 or more in financial support as they learn alongside a mentor teacher during the 23-24 school year!

Teacher Pathways
One of the most important factors in the achievement of students is the preparation and quality of the teacher. We believe that all students deserve inspiring and effective teachers who engage them in learning. PEBC offers two pathways into the profession that support learning and rigorous preparation for the field.
Teacher of Record Pathway
Teachers of Record are supported by PEBC mentors and coaches as they serve as the sole teacher in the classroom.
Teacher Residency Pathway
Teacher Residents gain support from PEBC coaches as they work side-by-side with a mentor teacher in the classroom.
