LAMS Residency Partnerships

The LAMS Residency is a collaborative partnership between Loyola Marymount University’s Center for Math and Science Teaching (LMU/CMAST) and Alliance for College Ready Public Schools. The Residency is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation through The College Ready Promise (TCRP), a coalition of California public charter management organizations serving low-income and minority students.

Alliance College-Ready Public Schools is an independent non-profit charter management organization that has grown to 18 high performance small public high schools and middle schools created in Los Angeles in 6 years between 2004 to 2010. Ultimately the Alliance plans to grow to 50 middle and high schools in California that ultimately will serve 23,000 students. Alliance's brand of high performance schools delivers a consistent educational environment and experience for students-preparing every student with the skills, experience, and knowledge to enter college.

The L.A. Math and Science Teacher Residency Program is part of the Urban Teacher Residency United (UTRU) Network. UTRU is a not-for-profit organization that has designed a teacher residency model and collaborates with programs that meet their strict partnership requirements and can prove fidelity to the UTR Program Model. LAMS is one of the 13 national residencies that form the collaborative partnership with UTRU.
