Wright State University gets grant for special education teacher training
Wright State University on Tuesday, Aug. 5, was awarded a new federal $100,000 grant to improve special education teacher training.
The Special Education Preservice Training Improvement grant will help to train teachers who are highly qualified with high incidence disabilities students, as well as in two core subject areas, such as science, math or language arts.
“We look at this as an opportunity to have different colleges and universities bring together an enormous amount of partners to address the need of highly qualified teacher-leaders in classrooms, in not only specific core subject areas, but then also in their ability to be a special-needs facilitator,” said Kristine Cohn of the U.S. Department of Education.
Cohn, a former Kettering resident who attended Wright State for one year after graduating from Fairmont West High School, presented the award to WSU President David R. Hopkins.
The grant is one of 20 awarded in 15 states totaling $2.4 million announced on July 29 by U.S. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings. Wright State is one of two Ohio universities to receive a grant.
The grants cover the first year of what’s expected to be five-year projects overseen by the Education Department’s Office of Special Education Programs.
