My Brother’s Keeper Teacher Opportunity Corps II (MBK TOC) Scholarship

The purpose of TOC is to increase the participation rate of historically underrepresented and economically disadvantaged individuals in teaching careers. TOC program will recruit and prepare 50 teachers in one of the three nationally accredited specialty degree programs to work in focus schools in Brooklyn and Buffalo. It would include instructional strategies designed to meet the learning needs of students placed at risk. Incorporate the use of mentors and other high quality support systems for pre-service and new teachers that are designed to ensure a lasting and positive effect on classroom performance. Reflect current research on teaching and learning; culturally and linguistically relevant teaching; youth development; restorative practices; and STEM concentrations at the elementary, middle & high school levels. Integrate a clinically rich pre-service model with a 10 month internship experience and includes partnerships with high- needs schools to help them address the recurrent teacher shortage areas, and foster retention in teaching of highly qualified individuals who value diversity and equity.
