Getting paid $35,000 to train as a teacher while working side-by-side with experienced educators? That’s the reality for folks joining New Mexico’s District Partner Teacher Residency program. It’s a big step toward solving local teacher shortages, especially in special education, and it’s making a real difference—80% of residents stay in their schools for at least three years, way above the national average. Plus, some residents even get full teacher salaries and benefits during their training year. If you’ve ever thought about teaching, this could be your chance. What do you think—could programs like this change the future of education in our state? #Education #NewMexico #TeacherResidency
