About “Call Me MISTER” |
|
Beginning in Fall of 2007, the College of Charleston School of Education, Health, and Human Performance will offer the “Call Me MISTER” Teacher Recruitment Program. “MISTER” in this case stands for Men Instructing Students Toward Effective Role modeling. This program is in collaboration with Clemson University and other South Carolina colleges and technical colleges, including Trident Technical College. The “Call Me MISTER” program is an effort to address the critical shortage of African American male teachers particularly among South Carolina's lowest performing schools. Program participants are selected from among under-served, socio-economically disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities. The project provides: · Tuition assistance for admitted students pursuing approved programs of study at participating colleges. · An academic support system to help assure their success. · A cohort system for social and cultural support. “Call Me MISTER” was developed by South Carolina’s visionary educational leaders who sincerely believe we can build a better tomorrow by getting you involved today. |
