Overview

The Mississippi Teacher Corps program at the University of Mississippi starts in the summer, with three required courses focusing on lesson planning, assessment, and classroom culture/management.

Once participants complete the introductory summer courses, they are eligible to receive a 3-year non-renewable Mississippi teaching license. This allows them to sign a contract with their placement school and receive full teacher pay and benefits from the school district.

As students move through the program, they take coursework that expands on early concepts while also looking at technology integration, exceptional students, diversity in the classroom, educational research, and teacher leadership.

Benefits

MTC provides training, support, Mississippi teacher certification, and a full scholarship for a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) from the University of Mississippi. During the school year, participants receive full pay and benefits from their school district and attend graduate classes at the University of Mississippi.
