COLUMBUS, Ind. — The Indiana Commission for Higher Education has awarded $900,000 to four Indiana colleges and nine school corporations as part of the Improving Teacher Quality Partnership.
“Having an engaged and effective teacher in the classroom is one of the strongest factors in ensuring our students are successful in school and in life,” said Teresa Lubbers, Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education. She added, “This grant gives current Indiana teachers the opportunity to work closely with our colleges to expand their skill set and bring new and innovative practices into the classroom.”
Indiana University will work with Brown County Schools and the Edinburgh Community School Corporation. Support will be provided to teachers as they use literacy to encourage scientific reasoning ability. The Science the “Write” Way project extends the development and mobilization of a comprehensive support network.
