GATE Fellows
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. 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.
