ENMU is partnering with the Three Rivers Education Foundation to recruit highly qualified individuals into the New Mexico teaching force.

The Three Rivers Teaching Quality Partnership grant provides individuals possessing a Bachelor of Arts degree with no prior teaching experience a $62k one-year, living wage residency experience while completing an ENMU online Master of Education degree. Participants receive intensive, focused professional development, coaching, mentoring, and job-embedding training.

These students agree to work full time as math, science, or special education teachers at a qualifying school district in New Mexico for three years immediately after successful completion of the residency.

For more information about the Three Rivers Teach Quality Partnership, contact Bobbie at the Three Rivers Education Foundation at 505.486.4874 or [email protected].
