(October 11, 2006) The Professional Articulation for Recruiting/Retaining Teachers for Neighborhood Engagement and Renewal (PARTNER) Project is a multi-year, Teacher Quality Enhancement (TQE) grant awarded to Illinois State in 2005 by the U.S. Department of Education. One of the primary goals of the project is to increase the number of individuals from the Little Village community who enter teacher education programs and return to Chicago to teach.
The Assessment Work Team of the Teacher Quality Enhancement (TQE) grant is offering faculty an opportunity to research the relationship of teacher quality to improved student learning. Awards will be $3,500 plus benefits, including supplemental resources for research materials up to $2,500, and travel allocation to present subsequent research at a professional conference.
The TQE grant is a collaborative initiative involving Illinois State University, Chicago Public Schools, Golden Apple, Little Village Community Development Corporation, Truman City College of Chicago, Daley City College of Chicago, National Board's Resource Center, and State Farm Insurance Company.
