Student success also correlates with the number of non-tenured or inexperienced teachers in a school. UMBC students are paired as interns with teachers in these schools for up to two years.
Support is provided for the inservice teacher, who is often a novice teacher.
The purpose is to provide the neediest students with the best teachers and fully train preservice teachers in rigorous, demanding settings, while fostering a commitment to accept the challenges of a future teaching in these schools. The ultimate goal is student achievement, while the greatest challenge to full implementation is funding through seeking grants and external funding sources. Subsequent to the STEC period of study, Project Support received a U.S. Department of Education Title II Partnership Grant, in partnership with Johns Hopkins University, Morgan State University, the University of Maryland Baltimore County and the Baltimore City School System. Additional public school systems to be served by Site Support include Anne Arundel County, Montgomery County, and Prince George's County. 1000 Hilltop Circle .
