Tutor Spotlight: Anna Creekmore

  • Categories Blog, Featured

Where in Mississippi did you grow up?  What was your own high school experience like? I went to Pontotoc City High School in Pontotoc, Mississippi. It is a small town right in between Oxford, where Ole Miss is located, and Tupelo, where Elvis is from. I graduated with about 180 students. I enjoyed both athletics and academics. I knew I always wanted to become a teacher because I knew I wanted to make an impact on students’ lives. I also …

  • Categories Blog, Featured

A key element of Global Teaching Project’s blended learning model—which employs multiple means to engage students and facilitate learning—is the extensive tutoring provided by college STEM majors from leading universities around the country, such as Yale, the University of Virginia, Harvard, MIT, and Stanford.

Happy New Year!

  • Categories Blog, Featured

Happy New Year! A year ago, no one could foresee the trials that 2020 brought. However, the extraordinary response of our students, teachers, tutors, and administrators was entirely predictable, because their character already had been evident. We are extremely proud of their hard work and commitment. We cannot choose our circumstances, but we can choose how to respond. It is natural to become disheartened in the face of adversity. To summon the resolve to overcome that adversity is the essence …

Thanksgiving: Reflect and Resolve

  • Categories Blog

Today is Thanksgiving. Grade school pageants tend to associate the holiday with Pilgrims and Indigenous Peoples, but it was Abraham Lincoln who first designated the fourth Thursday of November as a national day of Thanksgiving. Lincoln’s Thanksgiving proclamation was issued on October 3, 1863, a time when, as the document acknowledged, the nation was convulsed by “a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity.”  Just three months earlier, the war’s bloodiest battle, Gettysburg, had been fought, and its most consequential campaign …

New data shows MS STEM Program’s unique impact

  • Categories Blog, Featured

According to new data from the College Board, the entity that administers Advanced Placement exams, the Global Teaching Project’s Advanced STEM Access Program stands out favorably both in Mississippi and nationally in two critical respects: Continued Growth:  Amidst the pandemic, schools across the country are limiting their academic programs and reducing their AP offerings, with the sharpest declines in areas of greatest need.  Yet the Global Teaching Project is expanding educational opportunity by sharply increasing the number of students served. Nationally, fewer schools are offering …

Student Spotlight: AJ Tutor and Rylee Chisholm

  • Categories Blog, Featured

Fewer than 0.3% of Mississippi public high school students even attempt the challenge of the AP® Physics 1 exam. Among all 38 Advanced Placement® subjects, AP Physics 1 has the lowest average score and the lowest percentage of students who achieve a “qualifying” score—the minimum required to earn college credit. AJ Tutor and Rylee Chisholm, currently seniors at South Pontotoc (MS) High School, took on that challenge—during a pandemic—and excelled. Both not only earned qualifying scores on the AP Physics …

Election Day

  • Categories Blog, Featured

Today is Election Day. Every election presents different issues, but the primary purpose of an election is, or at least should be, always the same—to create a better future for ourselves and others. The political process is one way of helping achieve that better future, in which all lives are valued, and everyone has the opportunity to live happy, productive lives as they see fit. Yet politics is not the only way in which we can act to create a …
