Cal Poly School of Education Awarded $4.1M
Grant To Help Promote Collaborative Teacher Preparation
Cal Poly School of Education (SOE) has been awarded $4.1 million from the U.S. Department of Education Teacher Quality Partnership grant to supports deliberate and sustainable partnerships across multiple contexts and stakeholders to promote collaborative teacher preparation.
Including:
~ Recruiting teachers from underrepresented populations and teacher shortage areas
~ Reforming courses and fieldwork
~ Implementing a two-year, formalized induction program for new teachers
~ Developing teacher learning around disciplinary literacy
Four colleges: the Office of University Diversity and Inclusion; the Center for Engineering, Science and Mathematics Education; and four high-need K-12 districts, to address teacher preparation reform grounded in community-based approaches.
SOE believes that by establishing partnerships between Cal Poly, K-12 schools and the surrounding communities, teacher candidates will be better prepared to teach within those communities. The partnership framework prioritizes a shared vision, structures that enable success, commitment of resources, and alignment between school and university personnel.
