For 科特尼·汤普森, a kindergarten teacher in Tillman’s Corner, Alabama, the education department at South became a career planner, a reference center and a professional 家外之家.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in K-6 elementary education, she took a full-time job at W.C. 格里格斯小学. At the same time, she was earning a master’s degree in K-6 education, along with certification as a reading specialist.

“You gain a deeper understanding of the science of learning,” said Thompson. “You can see that this child learns this way, and that one learns that way, which helps 让你的教学更有效.”

Next, she planned to work on a doctorate in education. 她希望有一天能成为 大学教授. 

“当然,”她说. “我愿意留在南方.”

Thompson grew up in Birmingham, where her mother thought she might become a teacher. 她的一些老师也这么做了.
