Job Description Summary Why Teach at Mississippi Governor's School Mississippi Governor's School offers a rare opportunity to teach in a fully immersive, residential learning environment with students who are highly motivated, intellectually curious, and eager to engage. This is not a lecture-driven experience. MGS scholars arrive expecting to participate, explore, question, build, and create. Courses are intentionally designed as hands-on, experiential learning experiences that emphasize inquiry, collaboration, discussion, and real-world application. Faculty are encouraged to design learning that actively involves students through projects, simulations, labs, design challenges, performances, field-based exploration, or other creative approaches aligned to the course topic. A modest instructional budget is available to support materials, supplies, and experiential components. MGS courses are in-depth, content-based studies that move beyond traditional high school and core university coursework. Strong courses reflect interdisciplinary connections, push students to think critically and creatively, and explore ideas not typically addressed in standard curricula. Teaching at MGS is an opportunity to try new approaches, teach boldly, and engage with students who genuinely want to learn. Faculty consistently describe the experience as professionally energizing and deeply rewarding, offering the chance to do something different and create a meaningful learning experience for both scholars and instructors. Hours of Availability Program Dates and Commitment Course instructors will be contracted from May 30 - June 13, 2026. May 30, 2026, is a mandatory training day. On-campus room and board are provided with commitment to the program. On-campus housing is optional; faculty may commute or make other community arrangements if preferred. This is an on-campus, daily commitment. Selected faculty will teach their proposed course 3 hours daily, Monday through Friday, for the full two-week program and participate in seminars, recreational activities, and other scheduled program components. Background Check Statement Prior to hiring, the final candidate(s) must successfully pass a pre-employment background investigation.

Questions and Contact Information Mississippi Governor's School Phone: ************** Email: *********** What We're Looking For in Course Proposals Mississippi Governor's School seeks course proposals that reflect bold thinking, interdisciplinary connections, and hands-on, experiential learning designed for highly motivated students who expect to be active participants rather than passive listeners. Strong proposals will demonstrate the following: * Clear intellectual focus The course explores a well-defined topic or question with sufficient depth for a two-week immersive experience and moves beyond traditional high school or introductory college coursework. * Hands-on, experiential learning design The proposal includes meaningful projects, activities, simulations, labs, design challenges, performances, or applied experiences that actively engage students throughout the course. * Interdisciplinary thinking The course intentionally connects ideas across disciplines and shows how different fields, perspectives, or ways of knowing intersect. * Engaging facilitation approach The course is designed for discussion, collaboration, inquiry, and exploration, with clear evidence that the instructor can pace learning, adapt in real time, and respond to student curiosity. * Alignment with the MGS theme: "Voices" The proposal thoughtfully integrates the annual theme and explains how students will explore, examine, or amplify voices through content, discussion, or creative work. * Student-centered assessment Learning and growth are measured through participation, reflection, collaboration, and completion of meaningful work, consistent with a pass/fail, engagement-based model. * Compelling student-facing description The narrative description is written for students, not reviewers, and clearly communicates why the course is interesting, different, and worth choosing. * Feasible and well-organized plan Activities, materials, and pacing are realistic for a three-hour daily course over two weeks, with thoughtful use of the available instructional budget. * Culminating peer-facing project Each course should intentionally guide students toward a culminating presentation or product shared with the broader MGS scholar cohort at the conclusion of the program.
