22 Teachers Join GATE Program
The Greenville Alternative Teacher Education (GATE) program, now in its fourth year, has selected 22 new math, science, and Spanish middle and secondary teachers. The GATE Program provides a pathway into the teaching profession for people with subject-area bachelor’s degrees, but who lack formal training in education. Through intensive coaching and mentoring, ongoing evaluation, and multiple opportunities for participation in professional learning communities, GATE teachers are guided into their role in the classroom and given the tools needed to thrive.
