Need

The project is a collaborative partnership between Tennessee State University and Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools to recruit and train highly qualified STEM teachers for high-need schools.

Goals

The goals are to: 1) increase the number of highly qualified biology, chemistry, and math teachers in high-need schools in Nashville, TN; 2) increase teacher diversity; and 3) provide mentoring support to graduates.

Approach
