Sherman Teacher Education Scholars Program

The Sherman Teacher Education Scholars Program was created at UMBC with a grant from George and Betsy Sherman. The program leverages UMBC's strengths in science, technology, engineering and mathematics to address the shortage of highly qualified math and science teachers and the achievement gap that exists between students from low-income families and their counterparts. The program seeks to use UMBC's capabilities in teacher preparation, experiential education and leadership development to increase the number of outstanding STEM students in teacher-education. Graduates of the program will teach in high-needs schools in the Baltimore region, focusing on Baltimore City.
