Particularly for schools and systems seeking to scale innovative models, it is vital to think about how to leverage and apply Five Domains for Teacher Preparation Transformation effectively. With some domains, this may be a straightforward endeavor. For example, systems may inquire about the specific supports needed for residents to be successful within their singular model. However, in other instances, leveraging the domains requires understanding which questions to ask in order to ensure that the system and residency partner is acting in alignment and fully leveraging the partnership.
