Building Bridges Across Cultures Project
from Carol Levers
Pittsburg State University is excited to announce an upcoming scholarship opportunity, the Building Bridges Across Cultures: Meeting the Information Needs of the Hispanic Community grant project. This project is funded by the IMLS for teachers interested in becoming a school librarian. Your school district was one of 22 identified by the grant as eligible to participate in this project.
Twenty-five teachers will be selected and will receive full tuition, fees, books, laptop, and other resources to help complete the Master of Science in Educational Technology with a Library Media emphasis through Pittsburg State University. The project commences with a JumpStart program in the fall of 2019, and online courses begin in January, 2020. One mandatory on campus meeting will be held Monday, October 21 from 5:30 ???7:00 p.m. All other parts of the program will be online. Most elements will be asynchronous so participants can access them as time allows. However, there may be some events that require an online conference meeting via Zoom, or another virtual meeting application. There will be a time before courses begin (JumpStart) that immerse participants in the Hispanic culture and Culturally Relevant Teaching practices. Then there are 6 semesters of course work, including 2 summers. At the end of the course work (final semester) and for another 6 months, there will be leadership activities that participants will be expected to engage in.
Attached is a flyer with information on how to apply for this scholarship opportunity.
Applications are due by 1:00 p.m., September 1.
Questions about the grant project and scholarship application can be addressed to:
