The Undergrad Lane

For undergraduate students aspiring to be teachers

An undergraduate candidate is one who is within one year of graduating high school. They are also college students who are looking to major in education.

We currently partner with Middle Tennessee State University to recruit male teachers of color for their College of Education Fairness, Justice and Equity Center.

Once program requirements are complete and state licensure requirements are met, Man Up Teacher Fellowship will assist graduates with job placement and provide ongoing coaching and support for up to three years.

Man Up Teacher Fellowship will support and mentor these men through college into their professional life.  Click the MTSU icon for more information regarding the MTSU FJE. 

 

The Undergrad Lane

  • Will be eligible to graduate within two years after acceptance into Man Up Teacher Fellowship
  • A minimum 2.75 GPA
  • Will complete a one-year residency in a school setting
  • Will pass required Praxis exams
  • Will commit to Man Up's five-year teaching and mentoring fellowship
According to a recent study at John Hopkins University, having at least one black teacher in third through fifth grade reduced a black student's probability of dropping out of school by 29% for low-income black boys having a black teacher reduced their chance of dropping out by 39%.
