South Bay Consortium Teacher Residency
The South Bay Consortium (SBC) is a partnership between Hawthorne Unified, Lawndale Unified Elementary, and Torrance Unified School Districts.

- Apprentice four days a week with an expert teacher in your residency school.
- Learn within a cohort of peers with whom you will work (and laugh) all year, paving the way to becoming lifelong friends and colleagues.
- Build a relationship with an expert instructional leader in K–12 education, who will advise and support you through one-on-one observation and dialogue.
- Engage in critical conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion with your mentor, instructors, and peers.
