UC program provides pathway to earn a degree in education
A grow-your-own partnership between the UC School of Education and Ohio school districts is evolving
The University of Cincinnati’s BIPOC Teacher Pathway — which supports Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to become middle school teachers —is featured in an article in the Cincinnati Enquirer and appears again in syndication on Yahoo News.
The feature article highlights Zyair Anderson, head coach for Colerain High School's freshmen football team, who is majoring in education at UC.
The BIPOC Teacher Pathway is a community of practice in which district administrators, advisors and classroom teachers, collaborate with UC faculty and staff to develop BIPOC interest in education careers, improve the climate for BIPOC students and teachers in both K-12 and university settings, increase the number of BIPOC teachers UC trains and recruit and retain those teachers in partner districts.
The program provides resources and supports for BIPOC students working toward degrees in Middle Childhood Education, with early tutoring experiences, paid summer employment in educational settings, opportunities for early education coursework, and assistance with the application process.
