Higher Education Collaborative

Each year the Center of Excellence to Prepare Teachers of Children of Poverty at Francis Marion invites representatives from its higher education partners and from sister SC Centers of Excellence to convene to engage in discussions around practices and programs that support the needs of teachers across South Carolina.

All interested representatives of Colleges or Schools of Education and of South Carolina Centers of Excellence are invited to attend as we address these goals:

1. Learn about aligned activities
2. Share resources
3. Explore the potential of partnerships

The national health crisis forced the shift of this event from face-to-face to distance and one of the things we learned is that attendance increased when travel was not required. Therefore, as the pandemic continues, we invite you and your interested colleagues to join in remotely this year, as well. The information we gain each year is critical to the success of our Center—we need our partnerships with other IHEs and Centers of Excellence!

There are no limits to the number of representatives who might attend from your IHE or Center and no cost to participate, but registration is required.
