by Freddie Banks, Jr. , June 17, 2007

 Additional seminars and workshops on motivation and attitudes included "How to Survive in a Racist Society," "Empowerment," Developing Leadership Skills and Abilities," "How to Manage Angers "Communication Skills," and "How and Why to Teach." Each evening, students met with counselors in a group session for activities and self-esteem enhancement.

 

 Since the inception of the MTIEP, ten students have graduated from the teacher education program and are currently teaching in the public schools or pursuing higher education degrees. Overall, the program has worked to increase the pool of minority teachers.
