Our Future Teachers Club promotes the teaching profession and all related careers. The goal is to increase the number of licensed teachers for Duplin County Schools. Members of the Future Teachers Club have the opportunity to serve in classrooms as student assistants. Their duties may range from copying papers, making bulletin boards, reading to students, or working in small groups with students on academic skills. This past February, Rose Hill Magnolia Elementary collaborated with Warsaw Elementary for a unique visit to UNC-Wilmington’s Watson School of Education. Students were greeted by the Watson Recruitment Specialist and Duplin County native, Mr. Dean Heath, who provided a tour and information on various educational and scholarship opportunities afforded to individuals interested in the field of education. Anna Marie Jones, FTC member shares,“The Future Teacher Club has taught me so much. The trip to UNCW’s School of Education impacted me greatly by showing me that many other teens like myself have an interest in education and that there can be a future for me in that field.”
