Since fall 2019, four cohorts of undergraduate students have served as teacher residents while completing their bachelor’s degrees at Southern Miss. Compared to a traditional 12-week student teaching experience that covers only a portion of the ongoings in a school, teacher residents experience a full school year in an elementary classroom. Teacher residents are mentored by professional teachers during the process and many graduate college with job offers already secured in the districts where they served.
