The mission of the 叫我先生® Initiative is to increase the pool of available teachers from a broader, more diverse background, particularly among the State’s lowest-performing elementary schools. Teacher candidate participants are largely selected from underserved, socio-economically disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities.
The term MISTER is an acronym for Mentors Instructing S学生 Toward Effective Role模型, and is primarily a mentorship-centered program where s学生 will be mentored into effective leaders, and will become mentors themselves to their s学生.
The 叫我先生® Program at 大学交流 supports opportunities for incoming Education majors from diverse backgrounds. In partnership with Clemson University, our goal is to support the mission of 叫我先生 by:
- Increasing the number of SC teachers from diverse backgrounds and experiences
- Recruiting, retaining, and nurturing participants
- Building the talent pipeline across high-need areas
