✨We are thrilled to announce that we've been awarded a $4.4 million three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education to prepare teachers in pre-kindergarten through second grade (PK-2) classrooms to integrate STEM and computational thinking in teaching models.
✨ We're calling it, Project InTERSECT, and it will expand existing partnerships with Duval County Public Schools and Northeast Florida Regional STEM2 Hub to provide teachers with professional development.
✨ The project will serve 180 teachers and teacher candidates across three cohorts starting in Summer 2021. This will directly impact the instruction of more than 3,000 PK-2 students, across a pool of 74 high-need DCPS elementary schools which includes six charter schools and two DCPS-UNF professional development schools as well as the UNF Preschool!
Stay tuned for more. In the meantime, read the press release. link in bio.
