The Mississippi Department of Education announced Tuesday members of the inaugural Mississippi Teacher Council, including a teacher at Kosciusko Junior High.
Lisa Crosby was selected to the council
The purpose of the MTC is to provide feedback to Dr. Carey Wright, state superintendent of education, on the initiatives of the Mississippi Department of Education, the Mississippi State Board of Education and the Mississippi State Legislature. The MTC aims to empower teachers to discuss topics critical to their success in the classroom and how MDE can assist.
“We want to learn from our teachers in the classroom who often implement effective strategies that can be shared and replicated statewide,” Wright said. “They provide valuable insights that could improve MDE initiatives. Additionally, the MTC will provide a venue for teachers to become advocates for their students and their profession through input into the decision-making process.”
More than 150 teachers from around the state submitted applications to serve on the MTC with 62 teachers selected.
