Residency Requirements

The Ozarks Teacher Corps is made up of talented teaching candidates who explore rural education issues, serve as teacher interns in small schools, and commit to teaching in their respective home communities for at least three years. The overarching purpose of the Ozarks Teacher Corps is to encourage extremely capable and passionate young people to become educators and return to their rural hometowns as teacher-leaders.

The Corps was launched in 2010 with 18 teaching candidates— eight juniors and ten seniors. Up to sixteen new candidates will be added each spring. Over time, the Ozarks Teacher Corps will develop a growing network of educator-activists who recognize the importance of rural education to a sustainable American society. We also believe this effort will encourage donors throughout the region to establish purposeful scholarship programs for their own rural communities.
