WJON — St. Cloud State University and several area school districts are working together to create a collaborative center for partnership.
The idea came from the Teacher Preparation Initiative, comprised of six partner school districts and St. Cloud State University.
The program started in 2009 and has been funded through a 10-year $4.5 million grant by the Bush Foundation. The focus of the program is to change the manner in which college students are preparing to enter the field of education and to give them support in the first three years of teaching.
The ROCORI, Holdingford, Monticello, Sartell-St. Stephen, Sauk Rapids-Rice and St. Cloud Area districts are involved in the initiative.
