VOICES of Pre-Service Teachers is an authentic podcast series featuring candid conversations with students currently navigating their journey toward becoming educators through the Rural Postsecondary & Economic Development (RPED) program. This podcast amplifies the real experiences, challenges, and aspirations of future teachers who are committed to serving rural South Dakota communities.
Each episode offers listeners an intimate look into the minds and hearts of pre-service teachers as they progress through the Teacher Pathway and Teacher Fellows programs. From high school students taking their first education courses through college students completing their teacher residencies, we capture the evolving perspectives of tomorrow’s rural educators.
This podcast is produced as part of the Rural Postsecondary & Economic Development initiative, a partnership between the University of South Dakota’s School of Education, Compass/Black Hills Special Services, and rural school districts. The series directly supports the program’s mission to create sustainable pathways for developing rural educators while strengthening local education systems.
