Center for Excellence in Urban Teaching Awarded $50K Grant

Hamline University is pleased to announce that its Graduate School of Education's Center for Excellence in Urban Teaching has been awarded $50,000 by the Otto Bremer Foundation. This general operating grant will be used to strengthen the center's core programs and organizational effectiveness, to increase outreach to metro area schools, to increase enrollment in the Center's graduate-level Urban Teaching Certificate program, and to support the development of a three-year plan of operations.

This is the third grant the Otto Bremer Foundation has awarded the Center for Excellence in Urban Teaching. Past funds have been spent to train more than 1,600 teachers and administrators on the issues of urban education, broaden the community's access to understanding urban teaching strategies, and create hands-on teaching opportunities for teachers of color in training.
