HOW TO APPLY

The Cato College of Education (CoED) at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) and two of it’s largest rural school partners, Union County Public Schools (UCPS) and Gaston County Schools (GCS), are excited to announce receipt of a Teacher Quality Partnership grant from the United States Department of Education. The project is called Teaching for Resilience via Understanding, Support, and Trauma-Informed Education (Project TRUSTED), and it will enable individuals who become Charlotte TQP Scholars to engage in graduate coursework and professional development focused on elementary teaching, with a specialization in social emotional learning for high-needs rural schools.

Project TRUSTED seeks to accomplish three important goals:

  • Increase educator diversity in hard-to-staff positions in high-need rural schools
  • Improve the preparation of elementary school teacher candidates to meet the social, emotional, and academic needs of students in rural areas.
  • Retain diverse educators in hard to staff positions in high needs schools.
