• Teacher Residencies Boosted By $4.2M (newhavenindependent.org) — Norwich schools are one of five districts hosting full-year Eastern Connecticut State University teacher residents, backed by a new $4.2 million investment in residency programs. The funding aims to better prepare new teachers, support mentor educators, and keep more well-trained teachers in Connecticut classrooms, potentially strengthening Norwich's own teacher pipeline over the next several years.
