Teacher-Training Bill Offers Help for HBCUs, Others
By Charles Dervarics
Minority-serving institutions may house Centers of Excellence devoted to teacher training under legislation the House of Representatives has approved this summer.
The Ready to Teach Act would create high-quality teacher-training programs at historically Black colleges, Hispanic-serving colleges and tribal colleges. The act reserves about $10 million next year for these Centers of Excellence plus unspecified sums in future years.
