This summer started by gathering all incoming MTR program participants together for what we call “The Big Pic.”

In this photo, you’ll find:
🩶 47 Residents (grey) — our newest residency class beginning their Master’s degree journey
💙 21 Reading Specialists (navy blue) — veteran teachers deepening their practice to offer students exceptional literacy instruction
🩵 9 Licensure Program participants (light blue) — current educators training with us to earn professional licensure
❤️💙 48 STEM & Literacy Fellows (red and royal blue) — college-age future educators who are spending the summer serving Memphis students at our summer camps

We are SO excited to have these 125 future and current teachers around MTR this summer and school year.

Come on by to meet these exceptional new faces! We’d love to have you.
