WEST PLAINS, Mo. – Area educators looking for a teaching position next fall are invited to attend the annual Teacher Placement Day event Friday, March 7, at Gohn Hall on the campus of Missouri State University-West Plains.

The event is being hosted by Missouri State-West Plains’ career services office and Missouri State University’s Teacher Education Completion Program.

It is designed to give students 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 primary service area, as well as with administrators from north-central Arkansas school districts, and apply for positions opening in those districts, organizers said.

The interviewing and application session is set for 9 to 11 a.m. in Gohn Hall, organizers said.

“This session is not only open 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 Alice Smith.

The interview session is free.

Administrators from area school districts who would like to participate in the interview session should preregister as soon as possible with Smith at 417-255-7230.
