Institute for the Recruitment of Teachers Recruiters Weekend

The Phillips Academy Institute for Recruitment of Teachers (IRT)
addresses the lack of diversity in the nation's teaching faculties by
recruiting outstanding students of color and other scholars committed to
diversity, counseling them through the graduate school application
process, and advocating for sufficient funding for advanced study. 
Since 1990, the IRT has built a national consortium of colleges and
universities that are eager to enroll IRT students to diversify their
graduate student bodies and to expand the pipeline of educators to
teach, counsel, and administrate in American schools, colleges, and
universities.  IRT urges its students to earn their advanced degrees and
teaching credentials before they launch their educational careers.
