Future MISTERs Academy

To best position us to achieve the goal of diversifying the available pool of educators in the state, it is imperative that we are intentional about creating a pipeline for potential MISTERs to enter the field of education. A way to accomplish this task is by reaching out to students well before they enter their senior year of high school in hopes of igniting an interest in teaching as a profession. To that end, we established the Future MISTERs Summer Academy. This academy is a unique program that provides middle and high school students with the opportunity to explore what it means to be an educator in a changing world.

During the program, students will broaden their perspective through interacting with P–12 and higher education professionals as they learn about a broad range of issues in the education profession through interactions with a Servant Leadership curriculum, resources, and practical experiences, thus cementing an interest in teaching as a profession.
