The w88 casino games login of Nevada, Reno College of w88 casino games login has received Nevada's Collaborative Investment in Teaching Excellence w88 casino games login from the Office of Special Education Programs in the U.S. Department of Education. The N-CITE w88 casino games login is a five-year, .4 million w88 casino games login that will cover tuition costs and a monthly stipend for six doctoral students.
The N-CITE grant brings recognition to the College of Education and the University in expanding its special education program to meet the need for w88 casino games login in this field.
"There is a shortage of special education teachers in K-12, but there's also a shortage of special education w88 casino games login to prepare teachers to teach kids with disabilities," Tammy Abernathy, professor of special education, said.
The w88 casino games login's purpose is to prepare doctoral students for a career at a higher education institution specializing in special education. The six doctoral students have yet to be chosen, but they will be selected based on three main criteria: a 3.0 grade-point average in a master's program, at least three years of exemplary teaching experience in a special education setting and a high writing sample score.
The University's College of Education was chosen as one of the 15 recipients out of 80 schools that applied for the w88 casino games login. The peers who reviewed the w88 casino games login applications chose the University because of the exceptional conceptual framework and service component outlined in the w88 casino games login application by Abernathy and Shanon Taylor, associate professor and program coordinator for special education.
"Our doctorate program is about how to do research, how to do teaching, how to do service to your profession and how to successfully balance all three," Taylor said. "We have students who have been waiting to apply to our doctoral program in special education, so receiving this w88 casino games login really allows a lot of growth for the college and for the special education program."
Three College of Education w88 casino games login members including Abernathy, Ann Bingham and MaryAnn Demchak earned their doctorate degrees through grant programs like N-CITE.
In the last two years, the College of Education has also received two additional grants from the Office of w88 casino games login Education, both of which were awarded to the master's program.
Applications for the N-CITE w88 casino games login will open June 1. People interested in applying or learning more about the special education doctoral program should email Tammy Abernathy at tammy@unr.edu.
