More about MTR: Memphis Teacher Residency

The Memphis Teacher Residency (MTR) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to positively impact student achievement in Memphis’ urban schools by recruiting, training and supporting outstanding teachers, all within a Christian context. The partnership involves the MTR, Union University and local urban schools (primarily Memphis City Schools). MTR offers a 12-month cohort program, at the end of which participants gain both a Masters of Arts in Urban Education and a State of Tennessee Educator License for either elementary education or secondary education in math, sciences, Spanish, English and history.
