WEST PLAINS, Mo.– Area residents who are looking for a teaching position next fall are invited to attend the annual Teacher Placement Day Friday, April 15, at the Lybyer Technology Center on the Missouri State University-West Plains campus.
Hosted by the University’s career services office and the Missouri State University Teacher Education Completion Program, the event will give students who are in their final semester of an education program and education program graduates the opportunity to meet with administrators from school districts in Missouri State-West Plains’ seven-county service area in Missouri, as well as with administrators from several north-central Arkansas school districts, and apply for positions opening in those districts.
The interviewing and application session is set for 9 to 11 a.m. in rooms 104 and 105 of the Lybyer Technology Center, which can be accessed from the north side parking lot adjacent to Cass Avenue.
“This session is open not only to Missouri State University education program students and graduates, but also students and graduates of education programs at Southwest Baptist University, Drury University, Evangel University and College of the Ozarks,” said Career Services Assistant Coordinator Pam Tate.
The interview session is free. Officials at area school districts who would like to participate in the interview session should pre-register by March 25 to reserve booth space.
