(From Crowder College)Crowder College and Missouri State University announce expansion of their current partnership to include offering MSU’s Teacher Education program at Crowder College – Webb City.
“Crowder College strives to develop partnerships and opportunities for all of our students to continue their academic journey beyond graduation” said Keith Zoromski, Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs.
“This expansion provides an opportunity for Crowder College graduates to pursue Teacher Education credentials from Missouri State University without relocating to Springfield. As a result, after graduation, they are more likely to teach in classrooms across our nine-county service area in southwest Missouri.”
The partnership began in 2007 providing Crowder College graduates as well as community members the opportunity to take classes working towards a bachelor degree in education, business, agriculture. The program has continued to expand to provide options in social work, nursing and various online options.
“MSU has had a tremendous partnership with Crowder for the last fourteen years, helping Crowder students earn a bachelor's degree in elementary education entirely at their local Crowder location. Not only has this program changed many students' lives, but it has grown quality teachers who wish to stay in their communities and strengthen our local schools. We couldn't be more thrilled that this opportunity is now available to Crowder students on the Webb City campus,” stated Larry Nichols, MSU Regional Outreach Administrator for the Southwest Region.

This is silly.
ReplyDeleteMSSU has a perfectly good school of education less than 5 miles away from the Webb City Crowder campus. The current Crowder President used to be the Dean of MSSU's School of Education - so he knows this.
MSU is likely to hire local adjuncts to teach the handful of student that this program is likely to have. Probably some of the same adjuncts that MSSU would hire if they need them.
Again, just silly.
