Dr. Denise Cunningham, professor in the College of Education and co-director of the Center for Rural Education at Missouri State University, shares about a grant from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) that will address the teacher and administrator shortage in Missouri schools.
Students who spend meaningful time on a college campus are more likely to enroll. The grant will support efforts to recruit future educators by bringing high school students to campus and introducing them to the teaching profession.
