Teacher Residency Program

Project Inspire is a teacher residency program from the Public Education Foundation that approaches teaching as a commitment to equity and social justice. Our mission is to transform and elevate the teaching profession by seeking diverse, passionate, and talented individuals who want to make an impact on historically underserved students in the Chattanooga community. 

 

Through our program, you will fulfill that inner calling by earning your teaching license while receiving a Master's degree, stipend, coaching, and support along the way.

Where Award Winning Teachers are made
