NCCU receives $2.1M federal grant - MICHAEL PETROCELLI : The Herald-Sun
N.C. Central University has been awarded $2.1 million federal grant to train novice teachers in two nearby rural counties, officials announced Thursday. A representative from the U.S. Department of Education presented Chancellor James H. Ammons with an oversized check at the university's annual convocation Thursday morning for the first chunk of a five-year Transition to Teaching grant. The funds will help train new teachers in Vance and Warren counties that have made a midcareer shift to the classroom. The federal No Child Left Behind law gives such "lateral entry" teachers have three years to earn state teaching certificates. With the grant, 25 teachers each year will be able to begin a two-and-a-half year "distance learning" program to earn their certificates from NCCU, officials said. Distance learning students take courses either face-to-face, on the Internet or through teleconferences.
