The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to provide continued funding for the “Homegrown Teaching Scholars” program. The project will support the following activities: (1) select 12 candidates from Alexander County for public school teacher education (classes will begin at CVCC in 2003); (2) initiate a recruiting campaign through career exploration activities in middle schools; (3) conduct summer enrichment programs; and, (4) develop case data to support the long-term sustainability of the program.
