PROJECT INSPIRE TEACHER RESIDENCY IN TENNESSEE
Project Inspire Teacher Residency is an innovative program that recruits, trains, and supports excellent math and science teachers for Hamilton County’s public schools. We believe that access to great math and science teaching is an issue of social justice, and we seek candidates who share our passion for equity and excellence.
Similar to a medical residency, teacher residents develop their skills directly in a school setting. Residents teach four days per week with veteran mentor teachers, called Clinical Instructors. To build relationships with peers, residents will work alongside one another at school sites. In addition, all residency schools serve as learning labs, where current and resident teachers learn from one another through observation and reflection. Finally, residents spend one day per week in specially designed courses from Tennessee Technological University. At the end of the year, residents have earned a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction, experienced teaching first-hand, and developed relationships with fellow residents, Clinical Instructors, and most importantly, students.
Deadline to apply: March 1, 2016
Selections will be made by March 13-14, 2016
