GATE Fellows
Global Awareness in Teacher Education
In November 2007, the College of Education received a $25,000 grant from the Longview Foundation to develop and pilot the Global Awareness in Teacher Education (GATE) Fellows Program.
In fall 2009, the College of Education was awarded a second grant from the Longview Foundation for the purpose of enhancing global and international dimensions of our teacher education program.GATE Fellows' projects and research interests:
2009 Cohort
2008 Cohort
In order to prepare preservice teachers in global education, faculty in the College of Education also need to receive additional training and support in order to address the lack of research on global education, especially in the area of curriculum development for preservice teacher preparation. The GATE Fellows program has been designed to address this knowledge gap and begin building a cohort of enthusiastic faculty dedicated to the continued internationalization of the College of Education.
This program is modeled on the long-standing campus Lilly-Center on Teaching Excellence (CTE) Teaching Fellows program, which provides opportunities for faculty to engage in dialogue and faculty development. Each Fellow has been awarded a $2500 stipend and a modest budget for curriculum development. Fellows will be expected to participate fully in the meetings and in the projects we develop together. The goal is to support increased attention to global perspectives in our teacher education program through these individual projects and through a collective contribution to the College’s priority related to increasing our international profile and engagement.
