Fall 2019 Student Support

We are planning to submit the request for your student support payment to Finance beginning Monday of this week. If you have passed all three of your Praxis tests, you will receive an award of $4,000 for the semester. If you have passed at least one, you will receive an award of $3,000.

We will be checking grades so I'm hoping you're all doing well in your courses. It's early in the semester so if you're missing one assignment, it's going to drop your grade. Do what you can to get them up so we can move forward with the student support for you.

A couple of you still have a few steps that need to be completed before we can process your award. I will send you an email, letting you know the things we need turned in.

It was nice visiting with you at the Sage Seminar this past Thursday. I look forward to these monthly meetings. Brenda and Lezlie keep me updated on how well you're all doing so know that I'm wishing you continued success and that you have my total support.

Have a wonderful semester and we'll be in touch!

Reggio Emilia Training

Brianne Teevan, owner of Bambini Creativi, will be on campus to provide training to the preschool staff July 23-25. Bambini Creativi is a family owned private and independent school founded serving preschool and elementary students.

You are invited to participate in this training if you are interested in learning more about Reggio Emilia, the philosophy that Brianne uses in the Bambini school. 

Reggio Emilia is an educational philosophy that uses self-directed, experiential learning in a relationship-driven environment. It was developed after World War III in Reggio Emilia, Italy, and gets its name from the city.

If you are interested in attending, please email Lisa at lazure@uttc.edu. The training is all day on those three days and you will receive a stipend for attending. You will have to stay all day, all three days, to get the stipend. This is a great opportunity so think about it! Thank you!
