Tennessee Leaders For Equity: Educator Workforce Recruitment and Retention Grant

Eligible awardees include educators, nonprofits, schools, or districts.

 

Grants can serve as seed funding to explore a new idea for recruiting and retaining a diverse educator workforce, or they could be used to enhance an existing, effective practice for diverse educator retention.
