7. DM: Mississippi Set To Change Teacher Certification Wenesday, April 1, 1998 © 19961998 The Daily Mississippian Mississippiset to change teacher certification. By Mike Gill Senior Staff Writer. http://dm.olemiss.edu/archives/98/9804/980401/news.HTML

Mississippi set to change teacher certification By Mike Gill Senior Staff Writer The State of Mississippi's requirements for attaining a teachers license are changing once again. The change in policy will dramatically affect many students hoping to become a high school teacher. For the last seven years, Ole Miss has not offered a secondary education major. Students desiring to be-come a high school teacher have taken an alternative route to obtain a teaching license. However, starting July 1 a new course of action will take place. "The requirements have yet to be announced to students and in a couple of months they will be looking for a teaching position," said Tom Bates, certification officer and associate professor of education leadership. "I'm afraid that a lot of people will realize that they have waited too late because they did not know about the new policy. It's going to leave a lot of people high and dry," Bates said even though he told students only a couple months ago about the current requirements, the certification process will continue to change. He is not certain of the new requirements in question. When asked about the new proposal, Jennifer Box, a senior from Eupora, said, "I did not know anything about it. I just finished my last test this past weekend and this is new to me."

Teacher Corps gives new direction to prospective teachers By Takehiko Nomura Contributing Writer When Kathleen Sullivan graduated from Williams College magna cum laude last June, she wanted to be exposed to something "more real." So she decided to take off from New England and go as far south as possible. She joined the Teacher Corps, a Mississippi version of Peace Corps, to teach in one of the nation's most poverty-stricken areas - the Mississippi Delta. She couldn't find a "more real" world. Sullivan, 22, now teaches English at the Yazoo City High School, surrounded by cotton fields, catfish ponds and poverty. She stumbled upon this job by accident. While searching a prospective job in the career counseling center at Williams College, she found "a little pamphlet of the Mississippi Teacher Corps [that] was stuck in some ragged-old notebook." Sullivan had never been in Mississippi before. "It looked really intriguing." Sullivan is one of 25 bright and highly motivated college graduates recruited by the Teacher Corps last year to ease the critical shortage of qualified teachers in the state's rural areas. Since its launch in 1989, the state-funded program, which is mainly organized by Ole Miss, has attracted teaching talent from across the country. Every year, it receives more than 150 applications for 25 to 30 slots.
