The Missouri State University College of Education invites current high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who are interested in pursuing a teaching career to participate in a free program. The #BearsTeach event will be held June 2-6, 2025, on the Springfield campus and will immerse students in some of the opportunities they can expect from their college experience. 

Students will attend workshops on different aspects of campus life, experience living in a residence hall, learn about a variety of education careers, and explore Springfield by attending local attractions. Students will also be led by mentors who are current College of Education students and will be able to meet several faculty members. The activities are designed to familiarize students with the college experience and give them the opportunity to start planning for college and their careers. 

Please visit this website for more information and to apply: www.education.MissouriState.edu/bears-teach.htm. Applications are due by April 15.
