Leading way to MS STEM teachers

OXFORD, Miss. - Nicole Roberson has been selected to lead the University of Mississippi School of Education’s efforts to train the next generation of AP-certified teachers in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). She’s executive director of the Mississippi Public School Consortium for Educational Access  at the School of Education. The consortium aims to not only to boost the number of AP-certified teachers, but also plans to bring them into some Mississippi communities where there are none. A Mississippi native and graduate of Belmont High School in NE Mississippi, Roberson is also an AP-certified teacher who tries to foster a technology rich, innovative classroom, which gives students the best, current learning experience. The consortium is at Ole Miss and made up of a group of rural Mississippi public school districts joined together to implement an initiative to provide promising rural community students with access to advanced STEM courses. It has partnerships with Mississippi State University, Millsaps College and Jackson State University.
