Educational inequality is one of the greatest human and Civil Rights issues in America today. Memphis Teacher Residency (MTR) is a faith-based, non-profit organization founded in 2009 to recruit, train, and support effective teachers in a Christian context. Residents are college graduates invited to train with a mentor teacher, receive coaching, and participate in a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) coursework through Christian Brothers University (tuition provided). Upon graduating from the program, residents agree to teach in Memphis under-resourced schools for three additional years.
