Professor Rebecca Neal awarded another grant to support teachers in their first three years of teaching

Professor Neal was recently awarded a quarter of a million dollars to  support teachers in their first three years of teaching. Grant funds will be used to offer mentoring programs for new teachers, especially those from underrepresented groups or shortage areas. Scholarships will also be  provided for eligible program participants outlined in the statute who are taking graduate courses toward either an additional license or their first master's degree. Hamline University was one of eleven entities to have received such funding.
