Program Overview
Now more than ever our students need qualified teachers who can help them overcome challenging school environments and achieve academic and personal success. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominately Black Institutions (PBIs) graduate more minority teachers than any other source. TMCF has designed the Teacher Quality and Retention Program (TQRP) to help these teachers enhance the learning experience of students.
TQRP provides one-week Summer Institutes designed to give Education majors experience in the application of educational theories and practices. This training will equip future teachers with the skills they need to successfully enter high-need schools in urban and rural communities. Selected STEM majors will take part in a two-week fellowship designed to expose those considering a career in education to the latest theories and practices associated with exemplary science and mathematics instruction. Program Fellows will attend one of four Institutes being held around the country. The Institutes are held at one of TMCF’s member schools. The 2011 institute locations are
