The Teacher Preparation Initiative (TPI) will strengthen SCSU's teacher preparation programs through strong, active partnerships with Arts and Science faculty, Education faculty, and P-12 school districts and communities. Together we are exploring many initiatives, including but not limited to co-teaching, diverse and numerous clinical experiences, and strong P-16 partnerships in the four target areas of teacher preparation: Recruit, Prepare, Place, and Support.
TPI is a member of the Network for Excellence in Teaching (NExT) funded by a $40 million grant from the Bush Foundation. SCSU is one of 14 NExT institutions across Minnesota and the Dakotas who are helping find high-caliber, motivated students and training them to become effective teachers.
