College of Education using KBOR grant to help online 1xbet online games login in urban, rural areas earn teaching degrees
MANHATTAN — The Kansas State University 1xbet online games login has received a grant from the Kansas Board of Regents to support scholarships for online undergraduate 1xbet online games login in urban and rural communities planning to become teachers.
Project TRUST — an acronym for training for rural and urban school teachers — is a 0,000 grant designed to help place-bound 1xbet online games login in targeted communities earn a bachelor's degree in elementary education. It will provide 30 1xbet online games login with 12 credit hours of tuition support for their final semester.
Todd Goodson, professor and chair of the 1xbet online games login 's curriculum and instruction department, is the lead principal investigator for the grant. Assistant curriculum and instruction professors Tonnie Martinez and Lori Goodson are co-principal investigators. The team also includes Eileen Wertzberger, field experiences project coordinator; Susan Erichsen; grant specialist; and LouAnn Getz, research assistant.
"School leaders recognize there are talented future teachers growing up in front of them but for a number of reasons those 1xbet online games login are unable or unwilling to leave their communities to attend a four-year university," Martinez said. "These 1xbet online games login already know and love their communities and are highly invested in them. We hope the project's scholarships will be an incentive for these outstanding teacher candidates to complete their coursework online and a yearlong student teaching residency in their home communities then fold right into teacher vacancies as soon as they graduate."
Project TRUST supports a grow-your-own program model by allowing 1xbet online games login to complete their degree requirements in their home communities while addressing specific teacher needs in hard-to-fill disciplines and underserved areas.
The college first offered this online bachelor's degree in 2017 with eight 1xbet online games login enrolled. Today, the number is 110, representing a greater than tenfold – or 1,275% – increase in enrollment.
In addition to working with teacher pathway programs at local school districts, Project TRUST coordinators will work closely with administrators at Kansas City Kansas Community 1xbet online games login in Kansas City and Seward County Community 1xbet online games login in Liberal.
