Project Inspire Teacher Residency operates within the education administration sector, preparing teachers who will serve urban students in Hamilton County, Tennessee. The program combines a year-long classroom apprenticeship with graduate coursework leading to a Master of Arts in Teaching from Lee University, supported by an intensive mentor-mentee partnership. It targets individuals seeking a career shift into teaching, recruiting locally, regionally, and nationally to fill secondary math, science, and elementary teaching roles in Hamilton County schools. The initiative is a collaborative effort involving local and national education partners, including the Hamilton County Department of Education, Lee University, the Public Education Foundation, the National Center for Teacher Residency, AmeriCorps, and the National Science Foundation, with a stated aim of advancing equity in education across zip codes. Based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the organization positions itself to provide urban students with qualified and committed teachers through a structured residency model.
