Students in this program are truly immersed in the experience and I know that when they graduate, they will be ready with the necessary skills to be successful in what can be a very difficult environment. Any graduate of this program who applies for an open job at the school I am leading will automatically be granted an interview. 这就是我对这个项目的坚定信念.”
科纳尔的捐赠将进一步扩展到威斯康星州东南部以外的地区, 在全国范围内发展该项目, starting with a new partnership with University of Rochester’s East High School Teaching and Learning Institute. 由威廉和希拉·科纳尔基金会资助, Carthage’s Urban Teacher Preparation Program will continue to expand programming and research over the course of the next three years.
