About the CRRC
Housed in the Louisiana Tech University College of Education, the Clinical Residency and Recruitment Center (CRRC) is responsible for developing and refining capstone experiences provided to clinical residents at Louisiana Tech. Central in this is effort is the TEAM model, developed by Dr. Amy Vessel and Dr. Dawn Basinger. The TEAM model is an innovative approach to teacher preparation that replaces the traditional, single-term of student teaching with a full-year clinical residency in local schools. This model leverages the experiences of university instructors and local school personnel to provide comprehensive training.
Recruiting visits are available daily in the CRRC. For more information on any of our projects and programs, please email crrc@latech.edu.
