​NETSERVE TEACHER RESIDENCY

Picture
NetSERVE (Network for Sustained Educational Residencies that Value Equity) is a collaborative effort between Winthrop University, three partner school districts, and multiple state organizations to provide a unique teacher preparation opportunity for individuals interested in making a difference in South Carolina rural communities.

​
​The Teacher Residency program is an accelerated pathway to teaching licensure offering an integrated academic and clinical experiences design, a $28,000 -$30,000 stipend supported year-long internship with a job guarantee, and a coaching and mentoring support network to help you prepare yourself for work with rural, high-needs schools and students.

Vision, Mission and Goals

Our mission is to address the shortage of teachers serving rural and high-need communities in South Carolina.  The vision we have is to connect highly motivated people who have undergraduate degrees that are not in education but who want to become teachers in rural, high-need communities with the quality, training, and support they need to complet the journey to serve.​
Specifically, we wish to
  1. Promote higher levels of P-12 learning
  2. Increase the number and effectiveness of teachers in our partner schools
  3. Provide better post-baccalaureate access to quality, clinical teacher preparation through an M.A.T. residency program
