About Us
Mission: 

Project Inspire's mission is to attract aspiring teachers in areas of highest need, to prepare them to be effective on day 1 through a year-long, real-world experience in the classroom, and to cultivate them as life-long learners and agents of change in their schools and communities.

Why Work For Us?: 

We believe the best way to communicate why work for us is to share our core values/core belief and strategic goals. 

Core Values/Core Beliefs

  • We value the rigors, joy, and fulfillment of lifelong learning.
  • We value an equitable learning environment where all students, especially kids of color, are known, cared for, and can enjoy the thrill of discovery.
  • We value collaboration as a catalyst for improvement in the teaching profession and beyond.
  • We value relationships with youth, families, and communities as foundational to teaching and learning.
  • We value diversity as an asset for schools and communities.
  • We value perseverance in the face of challenging circumstances.

Strategic Goals

  • Attract diverse talent into the teaching profession.
  • Prepare residents to be ready from day one.
  • Cultivate residents, CIs, and graduates as a different kind of teacher.
  • Tell the story of our program and teacher residency.
  • Improve the way we do our work in teacher preparation.

If these statements of belief and strategy resonate with you apply to work with our small team to impact to lives of students and teachers of color in Hamilton County Schools!
