The Urban Teacher Project (UTP) is a cohort of residents from MSU’s larger teacher education program who have a passion for social justice and antiracism. UTP students are placed in classrooms throughout Newark and Orange with carefully selected mentor teachers. UTP seminars support all areas of teacher development with a special focus on social and racial justice. The small cohort is provided support and access to many special events and high-quality antiracist critical professional development.
The Critical Urban Education (CUE) is a bi-annual speaker series that hosts national scholars at MSU, providing a forum to develop attendees’ racial and political analysis through a series of lectures and workshops focused on social and cultural issues influencing urban schools and communities. CUE is free and open to the public and the audience includes Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß students and faculty, as well as local young people, educators, and community members.
