Grant Summary

$25,00 over 8 months to support a planning grant that embarks on a curriculum reform project that aims to integrate the liberal arts into each institution’s teacher education programs. The partners will use planning grant support to develop campus roadmaps for implementation and assessment of the liberal arts embedded within teacher education. While each campus will develop its own unique plan, the team will connect as a community of practice to share ideas and learning. Together they will explore the connections between liberal arts education and teacher preparation as part of the process of designing campus roadmaps for implementation.
