Our Professional Block students are working hard as they prepare for their final field experience before beginning student teaching! 🎓📚

Students have had the opportunity to learn from guest speakers from the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) and Clinton Public Schools, gaining valuable insights as they prepare to enter the classroom.

Students also brought history to life through Revolutionary War Readers’ Theaters, building their content knowledge while practicing engaging instructional strategies. 🇺🇸🎭

We are proud of the dedication and growth our future educators are demonstrating as they take these important final steps toward student teaching! 🍎✨
