High turnover and high demand for teachers in Mississippi have led to many open teaching positions in the state. Although most Mississippi teachers are highly qualified to teach in their subject areas, this is not the case for all teachers. Only about 50 percent of teachers in three schools in Holmes County are considered highly qualified to teach. In addition, the U.S. Department of Education has identified a number of teacher shortage areas for Mississippi: deaf/hearing impaired education, driver’s education, general science, German, Russian, and social studies. Finally, according to the Associated Press, 59 of the state’s 150 superintendents plan to leave by January 1, 2012. What does this mean for already-licensed teachers or teachers hoping to be licensed in Mississippi? It means that this is prime time to earn an add-on or advanced certificate if you are looking for a new job or promotion.
