Training teachers as advocates to ensure that teachers and students thrive in Mississippi
Teach Plus trains teachers to understand education policy as a lever for student success, community organizing, writing op-eds and speaking to the media, providing public testimony, and more. Teach Plus works to create and connect teachers to opportunities to lead in real ways at the policy level.
Teach Plus recruits and selects Mississippi Policy Fellows from across the state to participate in the cohort experience. You will become part of a larger movement of teacher leadership and help mobilize your peers around top issues impacting the teaching profession in Mississippi. Teach Plus works with key stakeholders and policymakers to join the conversation.
Teach Plus Mississippi seeks a cohort of teachers who reflect the cultural and geographic diversity of our state.
The written application asks you to complete general demographic information, short essay responses, and submit a professional resume.
You will be notified by Friday, May 9, 2025, if you have been invited to participate in a virtual interview. Interviews will take place between May 21-22, 2025.
