Education Department Awarded Grant
10/20/2011
The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education awarded the Oklahoma City University Department of Education a one-year grant to recruit pre-service teachers to teach in urban school districts.
Professors Elizabeth Willner and Lisa Lawter developed the proposal that will recruit, empower and inspire teacher candidates across Oklahoma.
The project, Connecting Across Cultures, will bring Martha Lue Stewart to the OCU campus. Stewart is a national expert on connecting cultures. She will discuss issues encountered when teaching diverse students as well as strategies to support all students’ learning.
The project will extend a special invitation to OCU students from underserved populations to learn about teaching in urban schools. In addition, a cadre of five teacher candidates will be invited from each Oklahoma teacher preparation program to inspire them to work in urban settings. OCU education majors will facilitate round table discussions during the event.
