Plymouth to expand teacher training through university program
The Holmes Center for School Partnerships and Educator Preparation at Plymouth State University (PSU) is working to strengthen New Hampshire’s education workforce. It is doing so through innovative partnerships and a mix of on-campus and remote professional development programs.
For the fourth year running, select PSU graduate education students will be garnering immersive real-world work experience as resident special education teachers, under the tutelage of a general education teacher and licensed special education mentor.
Print shops can help to perform a number of printing services for universities like this one.
A living stipend of $1,000, as well as local housing and utilities, will be provided to participants, along with their full tuition for the entirety of the 10-month program.
PSU 2025 graduates Kacie Collins of Plymouth and Jessica Falconer of Colebrook began co-teaching in Littleton in August in sixth and fourth grade respectively. Both Collins and Falconer were PSU Elementary Education graduates, who began graduate coursework on the PSU campus.
Helping to cultivate special education’s next generation of teachers, as well as support Littleton classrooms, is the goal of the program, and in certain cases, the participants have acquired full-time employment in the district following graduation.
Two alumni of Plymouth State are employed by the Littleton School District; a first cohort participant, Elena Register, is employed at the Mildred C. Lakeway Elementary School, and a second cohort member, Makenna Allen, teaches fourth grade at the same school.
