(NEW ALBANY) - A university in southeast Indiana has received a $240,000 grant to help local educators update their science, technology, engineering and math courses to meet requirement changes.
The News and Tribune reports that Indiana University Southeast's two-year grant is from the Indiana Commission on Higher Learning.
The university has created a program called "Growing Tomorrow's STEM Teachers" with the money.
Twenty teachers from schools around the region will be able to use funding from the program to cover the cost of 12 graduate credit hours at the university. The program will also cover some costs.
The Indiana Commission for Higher Learning began requiring teachers in dual credit classes to have at least 18 master's credit hours in their concentration area in 2015. Teachers have until 2022 to meet the coursework.
