Teaching in the Urban South

Teaching in the Urban South Teaching in the Urban South (TITUS) TITUS was founded on the campus of Emory University in 2011.

Its original aims were to connect educational leaders across public schools in metro-Atlanta with local scholars and students during summer learning opportunities and year-round events. We hoped to create collaborative spaces for school-based inquiry where participants could engage in a dialogue and exchange of best practices.
​
Now, TITUS does similar events and coordinates advocacy efforts acros

s the urban Southeast with offices in Alabama, North Carolina, and Georgia. Seeking always to expand the network between various stakeholder groups committed to public education, we host Town Hall meetings, offer consulting work, and conduct workshops and seminars around issues related to urban education.
