Belmont University Launches Program to

Recruit and Train Math Teachers

In partnership with the Tennessee Department of Education and local public school districts, Belmont University announced a new initiative to recruit, train and support the next generation of mathematics teachers in Middle Tennessee. 

The program will place each teacher candidate in an in-school “residency,” a paid educational position in a classroom where they will learn from and receive support from an experienced mentor teacher.

This new program will train two cohorts of 25 candidates over the next two years, meeting a need in local public schools. Candidates will complete the program in one year, graduating with a Master of Arts in Teaching and with eligibility for initial licensure as a math teacher in Tennessee. Learn more here.
