Our Mission… Since 1985, the Multicultural Teacher Recruitment Program (MTRP), strives to alleviate teacher shortages at all levels by increasing minority teacher representatives for the progressively diverse status of our nation, Kentucky, and the Louisville metropolitan area. MTRP supports the University and College of Education and Human Development in improving the accessibility of quality teacher preparation by providing financial and academic assistance, as well as professional development to undergraduate and graduate minority students. MTRP focuses on recruiting multicultural teacher candidates who will incorporate the values, learning styles, and multiple cultural perspectives reflected in today’s public schools.
MTRP offers programmatic support that includes: • Financial assistance and scholarships • Mentoring and networking opportunities • Praxis assistance and resources • Campus and community engagement • Professional development, and much more!
