Relationships are Key
What makes PUC Teacher Residency Program special?  It’s our intentional building of purposeful and meaningful community and relationships.  Residents learn together in a cohort, building lifelong friendships, supporting each other through celebrations and challenges, and uplifting our communities in the process.
