What is Project NURTURE and what does it offer?
Project NURTURE is a teacher readiness and residency program. The program is designed to increase highly qualified and certified teachers in high-need schools in rural and urban schools throughout Georgia. To do so, Project NURTURE establishes a series of support systems that develop three major pathways to encourage individuals who are interested in becoming educators.
So, if you dream of being a teacher, now is your opportunity. Whether you are a retiree, a career changer with a bachelor’s degree, a paraprofessional ready to lead a classroom or a military veteran, Project NURTURE provides a way forward to fulfill your dream.
Over the course of one academic year, Teacher Residents will be mentored and prepared to lead their own classrooms.
