Clarksville Now CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – 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 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.
