The Windgate Foundation has awarded a two-year, $469,420 grant to the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff to support teacher preparation programs for students through its Educator Preparation Program.
The program aims to increase the number of highly effective educators by supporting evidence-based practices that prepare, develop and strengthen the skills of UAPB students through its competency-based curriculum.
"This opportunity will serve to address many of the preparation and training issues we too often wrestle with in preparing the next generation of teachers," Vice-Chancellor of Institutional Advancement George Cotton Sr. said in a news release. "This funding can also serve as an institutional springboard in helping to carve out UAPB's space as a go-to institution in making a difference in teacher preparation."
