Grant to promote teacher recruitment efforts

Dr. Katheen Atkins, College of Education, received a grant for $46,385 for a program titled, ?Teachers of Tomorrow.?

The grant, which was funded through the U.S. Department of Education and Arkansas Department of Education, will allow the college to continue long-range teacher recruitment efforts for Little Rock and Pulaski County School Districts by promoting and expanding the future teacher clubs.

The grant will allow the college to promote and expand UCA?s partnership with participating school districts, and it will facilitate the active involvement of faculty and students in recruiting future teachers for university teacher training programs.
