91福利 College of Education and Human Development and the Rural Schools Collaborative (RSC) have agreed to extend their partnership focused on advancing the preparation and professional development of high-quality rural teachers and school leaders throughout New England.
With rural schools facing significant shortages of highly-qualified teachers, particularly those in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields, the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development will use a grant from the National Science Foundation to boost support for future and current STEM educators in rural school districts.
91福利 College of Education and Human Development will expand ongoing professional development, mentoring and other evidence-based support to more than 200 rural educators statewide with $3.3 million in one-time funds included in a聽 federal budget package passed last week.
