Memphis Teacher Residency

MTR’s Job-Embedded, Licensure-Only Cohort 2 is here!!

These individuals are already great teachers. They’re going to be taking courses and getting coached over the next year to earn their full professional license.

Welcome to the MTR team, JELO Cohort 2!

Want to work with us to get your professional license?
• Applications for a fall start date are open at apply.memphistr.org

We look forward to meeting you soon!

Join us in welcoming Dr. Megan Salemi as MTR’s new Executive Director!

Megan has served as a highly capable and successful MTR staff member in various roles since 2013. We are grateful for - and confident in - her strong, humble, dedicated, and mission-minded work and leadership.

David Montague will still be serving full-time on MTR staff as President.

As we look ahead, we believe the best is yet to come.
