The Transformative Education Network (TEN) at Montclair State University prepares, supports and develops teachers who teach toward antiracism and social justice.

TEN was created as an inclusive umbrella term for two programs outlined below that have a shared mission of advancing racial justice in education, offering critical professional development, and actively creating an expanding network of anti-racist educators across our partner districts.

The small cohort is provided support and access to many special events and high-quality antiracist critical professional development.
