Ozarks Teacher Corps

We were so happy to have a great crowd and honor the 2017 cohort of the Ozarks Teacher Corps last Friday at the Springfield Art Museum! We took the opportunity to snap a photo of all our assembled Teacher Corps members -- new, current and graduating -- who have helped to establish a Teacher Corps model that has inspired similar groups across the country. Thank you for your dedication to rural education.

This story published today in Washington Monthly's online philanthropy journal will be of interest to OTC'ers. You are part of a movement to promote rural education that's catching national attention!
