Washington D.C. Is Centering Access and Quality in Teacher Preparation

Washington, D.C. is creating new pathways into teaching through innovative apprenticeship and residency models. These approaches expand access—and now the focus is ensuring those pathways are grounded in practice-rich, rigorous preparation.

EdPrep Partners supports D.C. preparation programs and partners in strengthening what happens during preparation – not just before or after. We help align clinical experiences, coursework, and feedback systems to ensure every candidate is ready to teach and ready to stay.
