Commemorating 75 years of Teaching, Research and Service: the Graduate School of  Education

The federally funded Eisenhower State Grant Program is based upon a fundamental, challenging premise: raise the achievement levels of K-12 students across the curriculum by improving the skills and content comprehension of their teachers and prospective teachers.

Through the Graduate School of Education at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, the project emphasizes professional development in three key subject areas--language arts, science, and mathematics-- to teachers in three urban New Jersey districts: New Brunswick, Plainfield and Perth Amboy.

This professional development provides participating teachers with state-of-the art knowledge about how to effectively teach their content areas, combining the best information about subject content with cutting-edge ideas about how children learn that content.

Funding for this program comes from the New Jersey Department of Education through the Federal Eisenhower Program.
