The Center for Minority Teacher Development and Training
Programs & Services
The Center's goal is to increase diversity in the classroom by increasing the number of minority teachers.
This program falls within the priority of Scholarship Programs because we are developing and expanding the
use of innovative and promising best practices for recruiting, selecting,
serving, retaining, and building community among high-achieving students
demonstrating financial need. This program enhances minority student
achievement and aids in the development of a more diverse and better-educated
work force. The Center targets Long Island students:
- who are in high school, or
- students attending Dowling College
in the teacher education program or,
- community college students who
will transfer into Dowling's teacher education program.
