A. On or before July 1 of each year, the secretary, in partnership with a department-approved teacher preparation program, shall establish and maintain department-approved New Mexico teacher residency programs at public post-secondary educational institutions and tribal colleges that have a department-approved teacher preparation program and have developed a commitment to investing in teacher education. The secretary shall ensure that the department-approved New Mexico teacher residency programs include representation from rural, urban and suburban areas across the state.

B. The public post-secondary educational institution or tribal college shall form a partnership with one or more school districts or charter schools to coadminister the teacher residency program and to provide employment to residents in the program following completion of all licensure requirements.

C. The program shall be designed to:

(1) diversify the teaching profession with teaching residents that reflect the diversity of students in the public schools in the state or the geographic area where the school is located;

(2) fill high-need teaching positions within the state and ensure that teaching residents are prepared for a department-issued teaching license at the end of the program; and

(3) provide at least one full academic year of rigorous department-approved teacher preparation program coursework while concurrently providing a full academic year of guided apprenticeship in the classroom of a level two or level three teacher at the partner area school district or charter school.

D. The public post-secondary educational institution or tribal college shall ensure faculty or university supervisors who work with the teacher residency program visit residency sites no less than one time per month to monitor teacher residents' programs.
