CMCSS Opens Applications for Teacher Residency Programs
Please note: This article was originally posted during a previous school year. Information and/or dates from past events may be not be relevant for the current school year. Applications are now open for the Teacher Residency Programs within the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System. The programs allow community members, current CMCSS employees, and high school seniors a non-traditional approach to becoming a teacher. “It’s about investing in your own community with an apprenticeship approach to developing teachers,” stated Dr. Sean Impeartrice, Chief Academic Officer for CMCSS. Residents work towards their licensure, degree, and/or certification while gaining first-hand experience as an Educational Assistant within the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System. This experience provides instructional and non-instructional support to students while learning best practices for a career in education from a certified CMCSS educator. Now in its third year of the program, CMCSS has partnered with several colleges and universities in the surrounding area, including Austin Peay State University, Nashville State Community College, and Lipscomb University. Residents incur no expenses for tuition or textbooks. “We are proactively addressing the national teacher shortage,” said Dr. Phyllis Casebolt, Director of Federal Projects, including the Teacher Residency Programs. “These programs provide residents an opportunity to work with high-performing teachers while completing the requirements to earn a teaching license. Wrap-around supports are in place to ensure the academic success of the residents. Our district recognizes the positive impact of employees committed to meeting the needs of all students.” There are three teacher residency pathways available for the 2021-2022 school year: Early-Learning Teacher Residency in partnership with Nashville State Community College and Austin Peay State University, Lipscomb Teacher Residency, and Lipscomb Middle Teacher Residency in partnership with Lipscomb University. Applications for community members are due February 10, 2021. High School seniors must submit their applications by March 5, 2021. […]

Spectators at Athletic Events
Please note: This article was originally posted during a previous school year. Information and/or dates from past events may be not be relevant for the current school year. As CMCSS implements its phased return to in-person learning the week of Jan. 25, the district’s Communicable Disease Team has approved a plan to allow a limited number of household spectators at athletic events. The following protocols will be in place at all CMCSS-hosted athletic events effective Mon., Jan. 25: Two (2) household members per student-athlete from both the home team and visiting team are allowed to be in attendance. TSSAA defines “household member” as the student’s parents/guardians or other immediate household members. TSSAA has recently extended this to include grandparents. Each school will communicate protocols for students and visiting teams to turn in the names of spectators for each contest. All spectators are expected to self-screen for COVID-19 symptoms prior to the game and not attend if any such symptoms exist. All spectators are required to wear a mask the entire game. All spectators are required to be physically distanced the entire game. All spectators will be screened before entry into the facility, including temperature checks. Facilities will be cleaned by custodial staff after each game. As TSSAA stated, those who fail to follow protocols are hurting all of our student-athletes and their possibility of completing the season. CMCSS has the authority to enforce health and safety guidelines for spectators and the right to remove spectators who do not adhere to the guidelines. Additionally, school and district leaders have the authority to prohibit spectators if there are concerns. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support.
