Xavier University of Louisiana Named as Partner in 100Kin10, National Network to Grow STEM Teaching Force

Xavier University of Louisiana (XULA) has been accepted as a partner in 100Kin10, a multi‐sector network addressing the national imperative to train 100,000 science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) teachers by 2021.

Xavier is the only university in Louisiana and the only HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) nationally in the collaboration. As part of its commitment to 100Kin10, Xavier will provide hands‐on professional development for 225 STEM teachers (including elementary) through workshops and site‐visits led by STEM professionals, with activities that are culturally sensitive to the community and students with special needs.

In addition, the University will also prepare 110 teachers (50% will be elementary) who will be trained to work with students in urban high needs schools and districts, highly knowledgeable in STEM content areas, and culturally sensitive to special needs of the inner‐city community.
