“DENVER—Lamar Community College (LCC), found on the eastern plains of Colorado, will join the group of community colleges partnering with CU Denver’s School of Education & Human Development to help curb the dire teacher shortage. The expansion of The Partnership for Rural Educator Preparation (T-PREP) program is happening thanks to a $6.4 million Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) grant award from the United States Department of Education. This fall, bachelor’s degrees leading to teaching licensure in early childhood, elementary, and special education may be completed in their entirety without leaving the greater Lamar region.”
