Teachers College of San Joaquin

Can I just say how much I am LOVING this program?! The friendships, the support, and yes - even the challenging parts - are making this experience incredible. What a fantastic community of educators I've lucked into! Every day I think about how fortunate I am to be part of this program. Is it too cheesy to say it feels like hitting the teacher-preparation jackpot?

As a student of Residency@TCSJ, one of Teacher College of San Joaquin's Preliminary Teaching Credential Programs, I have had the opportunity to work alongside a veteran, talented, credentialed teacher since the beginning of the school year. This has allowed me to witness strategies that she started using day one to gain her students' trust and build relationships with them.

The kindest thing a former student said to me was, "You are and will always be my favorite teacher." She told me that teachers say they care but after having me as a teacher for a year, she found that to be true. I thank TCSJ for that quality. I feel cared for and valued at TCSJ, which has showed me how important it is for me to instill that into the culture of my own classroom.
