We conducted a workshop at the [The Residency Lab 2024 Annual Symposium](https://hubs.ly/Q02wfhXV0) to present a framework for understanding the research and its implications. The workshop included explanations of our companion tools designed to help programs understand their current processes in light of the research and identify action steps aligned to program goals and theory of action. If you are an EPP or an LEA and would like to schedule a free virtual session of the workshop for your team to dive into this work, please complete this [form](https://share.hsforms.com/1xRcX_TTHSsCUwcgddurCWgc5lxn) and we will reach out to you with more information and discuss scheduling. If you have already attended a workshop and would like to schedule a free consultation regarding your completed Residency Assessment Tool, please complete this [form](https://share.hsforms.com/1xRcX_TTHSsCUwcgddurCWgc5lxn). To access the guides used in the workshops, you can use the following links. You will be prompted to share your email address to download the materials. - [Residency Assessment Tool Instructions](https://hubs.ly/Q02tfDYM0) - [Residency Assessment Tool](https://hubs.ly/Q02tfF6p0) - [Torace & 10 Key Characteristics of Effective California Teacher Residency Programs](https://hubs.ly/Q02tfLdK0) Our workshop and assessment tools can be used with or without the Torace platform.
