Teacher Education Disburses $30,000 in Stipends to Support Field Experiences
posted in: Campus updates, Teacher Education
The Teacher Education Department awarded $1,000 stipends to 30 undergraduates enrolled in teacher education pathways courses at USM through University of Maine System funding for Pathways to Careers. The funds will alleviate cost-of-living expenses for students during their fieldwork and internships in local schools. The department is proud of these and all of its undergraduates for their commitment to becoming highly skilled certified teachers, which are sorely needed to address Maine’s teacher shortages.
