The University of Minnesota already has an innovative approach for preparing our future educators with the College of Education and Human Development's unique, highly regarded teaching programs.
Therefore, the recent announcement of the $40 million Bush Foundation grant highlights just how dedicated Minnesota is to training our future educators. The grant money will go towards restructuring teacher preparation programs. The curriculum changes will be a combined effort of Minnesota K-12 schools and the University aiming to improve students' academic test performance and high school graduation rates.
