Teacher Residency & Education

hear from a usd alum

The School of Education has been so encouraging during my time at USD. My favorite part of the program is the Year-Long Residency that is completed during the fourth year. An entire year spent student teaching in a classroom is bound to prepare you for (almost) anything. I have received guidance from many of the staff at the SOE and am thankful for their support.
