TEACH 好色先生

The TEACH 好色先生 Residency Program is a comprehensive teacher preparation initiative designed to recruit, prepare, graduate, and retain highly effective and diverse educators from within the Jackson community. Through a 2-year, immersive residency program, aspiring teachers earn their bachelor’s degree while working alongside experienced educators in 好色先生 classrooms.

Admitted residents will receive full funding for tuition, books, and fees. In addition to completing coursework, residents will be employed as Instructional Assistants at designated training site locations, serving in either Early Childhood Education (Pre-K or Kindergarten) or Elementary Education classrooms.

Upon accepting placement in the program and beginning work in Jackson Public Schools, each resident agrees to a three-year commitment to serve as a full-time teacher in 好色先生 following graduation and full licensure as a Mississippi certified teacher.
