Welcome to Teach Plus Mississippi! Our mission is to empower excellent, experienced, and diverse teachers to take leadership over key policy and practice issues that advance equity, opportunity, and student success. Through our programs, teachers from across the state learn how policy is made and how it impacts their classroom. We provide teachers with training and opportunities to change and influence policies at the school, district, and state level—achieving change in schools and in the broader education system.
+ The inaugural Mississippi Teaching Policy Fellowship launched in 2018 with 15 fellows focused on teacher prep, teacher recruitment and retention, and school discipline reform.
+ We are currently seeking excellent teachers for the next cohort of our Mississippi Teaching Policy Fellowship, a program through which we partner with teachers to build equity and excellence in our state’s educational system. For more information, click here.
