Introduction to Education Application page 1
To address the teacher shortage in Minnesota, Southwest Minnesota State University will be accepting a limited number of
schools to offer an Introduction to Education course through concurrent enrollment. The overall goal is to spark the interest of a career
in Education early in the students’ experience. This course will be offered in the 2018-2019 school year. This opportunity is geared
towards, but not limited to, American Indian students and students of color. As a result of partial funding from the Minnesota
Department of Education, this course will be offered at a 50% tuition reduction. High schools will be chosen based on a set of criteria
from this application. If interested, please complete the required application about your school and the teacher who would be teaching
the course for consideration. The completed application is due Friday, March 23, 2018. This course is not guaranteed; schools will be
selected and notified no later than April 6
