The Charles Butt Scholarship for Aspiring Teachers consists of an annual award of $8,000 for up to four years, as well as opportunities for ongoing training and development, mentorship from practising public school teachers, and membership in a network of aspiring teachers across the state that is organized by the Charles Butt Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through teacher preparation programs at partner colleges, about 100 scholarships will be given out annually, with the cohort increasing to 500 scholars yearly. An application, pre-screening by university teams, and a day-long event that consists of a group exercise, a simulated teaching session, and a panel interview are all parts of the competitive selection process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Raising Texas Teachers initiative, in addition to providing scholarship funding, enhances the demanding education that Charles Butt Scholars receive at our partner programs by giving Scholars access to ongoing professional development, mentoring and feedback from teachers and principals, and connections with other Charles Butt Scholars across Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through a combination of instruction and support, Scholars will be given the chance to practice and develop their pedagogical skills in real-world classroom settings, see masterful teaching in action, reflect on advice from knowledgeable teachers and school administrators, and engage in a supportive community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
