College of Education receives grant
SCSU President Roy Saigo was pleased with Senator Coleman, Senator Dayton and Congressman Mark Kennedy for supporting SCSU as the U.S. Department of Education awarded a grant of $5 million to the College of Education.
The college will share its funds with District 742 to help enhance teacher preparation over the next five years. Supporters of the grant are hoping to improve student field experiences by implementing co-teaching. The program will partner experienced teachers and student teachers in the classroom, creating more diverse styles of teaching and offering support for each other.
The Teacher Quality Enhancement Partnership Grant is only awarded to four schools in the nation, and is the largest grant ever awarded to SCSU. SCSU's College of Education is also the nation's 12th largest producer of teachers in the nation, preparing nearly 600 teachers every year.
Grant helps Rocori High School recover
Since the shootings that killed two students at Rocori High School, the U.S. Department of Education has given the Rocori school district a $50,000 grant to help recover from the tragedy.
The district plans to spend over half the funds to reimburse mental health centers that offered free services after the shootings, and to pay for further counseling. Discussions are also underway regarding a new identification system that will include both teachers and students.
