OTA is committed to elevating teacher quality in rural communities. To that end, we have partnered with senior faculty members at the University of Oxford to train our mentors and apprentices in a modified version of the Oxford Tutorial system, a deeper learning pedagogy that promotes critical thinking as well as creative problem solving in ways that every child will need to successfully navigate a 21st century society.

Our mission at Oxford Teachers Academy is to fill rural teacher shortages by enabling local residents to become high-quality, credentialed teachers.
