“Anderson University is on the threshold of pioneering a new educational format that will aid teachers of students who don’t have English as their primary language.

An $800,000 federal Department of Education grant will be used for a Professional Development Academy. The goal of the center is to prepare teachers to teach English to people who don’t speak the language, and the mission is to provide instruction that accelerates limited English proficient students, leading to keeping students in school and encouraging their enrollment in colleges and universities.”
