IU Northwest gets education partnership grant

Recruiting new teachers for America’s public schools is only one challenge facing educators today. The School of Education at the IU Northwest campus is also utilizing a $119,154 Title II K-16 Transition Partnership grant to assess its own programs that prepare teachers. The teacher education program has picked out some important skills that it wants each of its graduates to be able to demonstrate.

They are found in the nine areas of communication skills, higher-order thinking, instructional technology, learning and development, culture and diversity, design and delivery, classroom management, assessment and professional development First-year teachers going through the induction program will be assessed for the knowledge, dispositions and performances they show in their first year of teaching.
