Creating an emotionally safe and affirming classroom culture

Neven Holland, MTR Class of 2015, wrote a piece for The Hechinger Report about how he creates a safe and supportive virtual classroom for his 4th-grade students. The article entitled, “TEACHER VOICE: My students will want to talk about Chadwick Boseman” was also shared in the Perspectives section of The Washington Post.

You can also glimpse into Mr. Holland’s non-virtual classroom from a previous year and see it for yourself.

Vision

Restored communities living with dignity and in peace.
The vision of MTR is to use our specific work within education, in partnership with other holistic organizations, to help restore communities so that all individuals can become empowered contributors to our city and people of all races and classes can engage with one another in peace.


Mission

Christian love expressed in equal education.
As a response to the gospel mandate to love our neighbors as ourselves, MTR will partner to provide students in Memphis neighborhoods with the same, or better, quality of education as is available to any student in Memphis by recruiting, training and supporting effective teachers within a Christian context.
