I.U. Education School Receives Research Grant
(BLOOMINGTON) - A federal grant to the Indiana University School of Education will fund research into improving special education instruction, particularly addressing personnel preparation to help special educators meet the requirements of the “No Child Left Behind” law.
The U.S. Department of Education has awarded the school a special education pre-service training improvement grant for 500-thousand dollars over five years. The school will receive 100-thousand dollars per year starting August 1. The amount is the maximum award given by the U.S. Department of Education for this grant program.
The money will be used to examine and improve special education masters and graduate certification programs. It will particularly address issues related to "highly qualified" teachers, as mandated by federal law.
Project participants also will consider redesigning how teachers are prepared to address the needs of an increasingly diverse student population, including students with emotional and behavior disorders.
