Why Â鶹ÊÓƵ loves Memphis Teacher Residency
is a faith-based, nonprofit organization founded in 2009 to recruit, train and support effective teachers in a Christian context. Since then, more than 1,000 people have been trained and supported by Memphis Teacher Residency through three programs: a teacher residency training program and two summer academic enrichment camps. Upon completion of the residency, graduates earn a full State of Tennessee Educator License and agree to teach in a Memphis systemically under-resourced school for three additional years – while earning an average annual starting salary of $50,000. You do not need to have an undergraduate degree in education to apply – all majors are welcome.
