One of our own Tech alum is now part of Project Inspire!

The Project Inspire teacher residency, located in Chattanooga, TN, recruits talented undergraduate students and career changers who want rigorous, rewarding training to become successful teachers in high-need schools.   Over the course of the 14 month program, teacher residents complete a master’s degree in education, a year-long classroom apprenticeship, and receive a teaching license.  

Financial supports are available during the residency year and including a living stipend and a master’s degree scholarship.

This program is for individuals who:

• Want to become licensed to teach secondary math or science (6th-12th grade) or elementary education (literacy emphasis)
• Are committed to educational equity in Chattanooga, TN and want to be part of a vibrant, entrepreneurial community  
• Want a rigorous but thoughtfully designed training program that also emphasizes teacher leadership in the early years of teaching

Cohort 7 starts in June 2017. Application deadlines are:

• January 22, 2017
• March 1, 2017
