Rowan University’s College of Education has been awarded a $3.2 million federal grant over the next five years to provide students with urban teaching experiences, expand math and science training and improve professional development, officials said.

A focus of the grant money enables Rowan to pair at least 25 graduate students over the next half decade with urban schools for rare extended teacher-mentorship relationships in high-need subject areas such as math, science and Spanish.

This new program requires students to pair with an urban school district such as Camden and spend at least one year developing skills for urban school teaching.
