Debbie Mercer, dean of the K-State College of 1xbet online sports betting , said this grant addresses a critical need in schools across Kansas — one that came into sharp focus with the emergence of COVID-19.
"This is a phenomenal example of how College of Education faculty are positively impacting some of the most complex and labyrinth-like issues in our profession," Mercer said. "This initiative addresses two at the top of the list: finding STEM teachers and providing schools with technology that levels the playing field for 1xbet online sports betting schools or those in underserved or low socio-economic communities."
The grant expands a previous 1xbet online casino Robotics robots, which. The 6,031 award is similar to the new grant and involved eight 1xbet online sports betting districts and nine schools.
Both grants were written by College of Education faculty members Spencer Clark, 1xbet online sports betting Education Center director and associate professor of curriculum and instruction, and Lori Goodson, 1xbet online sports betting Education Center assistant director and assistant professor of curriculum and instruction. Combined, the two grants will support 29 schools in 18 districts with a total of 118 Double Robotics robots and 23 Ohmni robots.
"This grant is an important part of our vision to create a 1xbet online sports betting distance learning network across the state," Clark said. "It is another step toward creating more equitable access to educational opportunities for 1xbet online sports betting students."
For Goodson, it's both professional and personal.
"It's exciting to see the 1xbet online sports betting Education Center providing support for our 1xbet online sports betting education partners," Goodson said. "As a product of a small 1xbet online sports betting school in northwest Missouri, I know the value of those small districts, and I'm glad to be a part of this effort."
Entering its fifth decade, the Center for 1xbet online sports betting Education and Small Schools was renamed the 1xbet online sports betting Education Center in Spring 2019.
Approved by the Kansas Board of Regents in 1978, the center focuses on meeting the needs of 1xbet online sports betting schools in the state of Kansas. Clark and Goodson emphasize advocacy for 1xbet online sports betting schools and their communities by pursuing grant opportunities and other sources of funding to support various 1xbet online sports betting educational projects. They will also conduct research and coordinate other educational activities to support the learning opportunities for 1xbet online sports betting students and teachers. Clark and Goodson look forward to supporting current curriculum initiatives and goals associated with the Kansas State Department of Education school redesign, STE(A)M education, career and technical education place-based education, and civic engagement in 1xbet online sports betting schools.
