KENOSHA â Carthage College has received a $150,000 grant from the William & Sheila Konar Foundation to grow its Urban Teacher Prep Program (UTPP), a program designed to expand the pool of educators who are equipped and committed to teaching in urban elementary schools.
The program aims to identify, instruct, inspire and increase the number of teachers committed to teaching in high-need, urban school settings.
âThe Urban Teacher Preparation Program provides teacher candidates with authentic experiences in urban schools and classroom settings,â said Michele Hancock, program director. âThis allows them to develop meaningful relationships with mentor teachers and the school community over an extended period of time, thereby fostering confidence in our teacher candidates that they can and will become effective urban educators.â
