Rachel Blough, a junior secondary education major from Dacula, Georgia, teaches a lesson about how to calculate the volume of a cylinder to a group of students from Louisville. This week, Blough and other members of the Mississippi Excellence in Teaching Program are attending the College of Education's first METP Residential Institute. Including METP students from MSU and the University of Mississippi, the week serves as a means for students to connect and draw ideas from one another as they prepare for careers in education.
