The University of New Mexico (UNM) has been awarded a significant grant from the US Department of Education to support the development of new special education teachers. This funding will enable UNM to expand its teacher preparation programs, with a focus on increasing the number of highly qualified special education teachers in New Mexico's schools. The grant aims to address the state's critical shortage of special education professionals, who play a vital role in supporting students with disabilities. With this funding, UNM will be able to provide scholarships and stipends to aspiring special education teachers, as well as implement innovative training programs to equip them with the skills and expertise needed to succeed in the classroom.
