EVSC to Address Teacher Shortage by Offering Employees a Free Community College Education

0

The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC) will begin offering an opportunity for its employees seeking a teacher’s license to earn certification and an Associate Degree — at no cost to the employee – through the Achieve Your Degreeâ„¢ program at Ivy Tech Community College Southwest. Officials announced the unique partnership today (May 9, 2016) at a news conference at the EVSC.

“One of EVSC’s core values is ‘Great People Matter.’ As an educational institution we know that investing in the growth and development of our great people will not only help our students but our community as a whole,” said David Smith, EVSC superintendent. “By creating opportunities for our current employees to go back to school and earn their degree, we are developing great talent already in our classrooms to help educate the next generation of students.  We are proud of this partnership with Ivy Tech where employees can continue their education right here in Evansville.”

At this time, EVSC employees can select from two Associate Degree pathways:  elementary education or early childhood education.  Ivy Tech has created career development certificates in each program that will be recognized by EVSC for advancement opportunities and provide valuable professional development for employees wishing to enhance their classroom knowledge and skills.  The credits earned for the EVSC certificates apply directly to an Associates’ degree at Ivy Tech. Following successful completion of an Associate Degree, the 60 credits that are earned transfer to the University of Southern Indiana so the employee can complete a Bachelor’s Degree and earn a teaching license.  The University of Evansville is also now completing arrangements to participate.

Jonathan Weinzapfel, chancellor of Ivy Tech, said that research has shown that financial considerations are the biggest obstacle that keeps individuals from earning a college degree. “While companies and organizations may have funding or reimbursement plans in place, employees still have to pay significant sums of money up front to cover their costs, then wait several months to be paid back.  This is a huge hurdle that keeps many people from going back to college and completing their degree,” Weinzapfel said. “Through Achieve Your Degree™, employees will pay no funds up front. We applaud Dr. Smith and his leadership team for their foresight to help employees realize their dreams and advance their careers. With the partnership of EVSC, Ivy Tech, UE, and USI – we can work together to help stem the ongoing teacher shortage in Indiana.”

Eligible employees will take classes as part of a cohort. EVSC mentors will guide and support employees accepted into the program as they work toward their certificate and degree. The program will be a combination of on-campus and online classes with classes beginning in fall of 2016.

Information sessions are planned in June for interested employees.

Evansville Police arrested 20 year old JON EICKOFF on several charges after he ran from officers who attempted to arrest him on a misdemeanor warrant.
The incident began around 7:45 on Sunday night. Officers were dispatched to the area of Broadway and Delmar for a person with a warrant that was possibly armed. Officers were told EICKHOFF was walking in the area and had a gun in his waistband.
Officers arrived and saw EICKOFF and his 4 year old son. When EICKOFF saw the officers he reached towards his son’s bike and began pushing it. When officers told him to step away from the child, EICKOFF stood up and reached for his waistband. Officers told him to put his hands up, but he reached towards the bike again. When an officer tried to grab EICKOFF’S hand, he ran away. EICKOFF fled and left his son behind.
During the chase, EICKOFF and the officer ended up on the ground in a struggle. During the struggle, a handgun fell out of EICKOFF’S waistband. EICKOFF was able to get up and continue running. The officer secured the gun and continued the chase.

EICKOFF was charged with:

Indiana Deans Support Arizona’s Acceptance Of GRE Scores for law school admission

Indiana Deans Support Arizona’s Acceptance Of GRE Scores For Law School Admission

Scott Roberts for theindianalawyer.com

Three Indiana law school deans are part of a letter supporting the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law’s acceptance of GRE scores as well as LSAT scores for law school admission. The letter was sent to Law School Admission Council president Daniel Bernstine after the LSAC allegedly said it would possibly kick Arizona out of the council if it continues to accept GRE scores instead of its own test.

Andrew Klein at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, Andrea Lyon at Valparaiso University Law School and Nell Jessup Newton of Notre Dame Law School were three of the 148 deans across the nation who signed the letter, which can be read here.

The Arizona law school says it is trying the initiative to diversify its pool of prospective students by letting them take the GRE instead of the LSAT, and the law deans said in the letter the project will benefit all law schools across the nation.

“Experimentation benefits all of us,” the letter says. “We all expect to learn from the University of Arizona’s experiment and it should not be punished by LSAC.”

Other schools who signed the letter include Yale Law School, UCLA School of Law, Harvard Law School and The Ohio State University College of Law.

The letter threatens that if the LSAC goes through with is threat to remove Arizona from the council, the deans will request a meeting of the members of the council.

The council issued a statement in reaction to the letter in order “to emphasize that our inquiry into the University of Arizona Law School was a request for clarification on the law school’s new policy, which we had only learned about through media reports. To characterize this as a ‘threat’ is unfortunate.”
