Twenty-two MCPS rising 11th and 12th grade students completed a four-day residential pre-college experience at Towson University (TU). Using Maryland Leads grant funding, MCPS partnered with Towson to offer the TU Teacher Scholars Summer Institute.
High school students were led through learning activities to inspire them to consider careers in education. Students toured campus, participated in team-building experiences, and connected with students from 13 MCPS high schools and others from Howard County Public Schools. They earned one dual-enrollment credit and a stipend for their participation. Ninety percent of the students indicated they are highly likely to pursue teaching as a career.
