Friends University is pleased to partner with Credit Union of America. As supporters and educators of our future teachers, Credit Union of America was on hand on May 4 to present each graduating teacher a teacher tool kit filled with classroom supplies and goodies to help get their classroom started.
Student teachers learn so much while they are fulfilling the student teaching component of their education program. None of that would be possible without the help and guidance of their mentor teachers. Credit Union of America also recognized each mentor teacher with an Educrate gift box to show their appreciation for the dedication and support they showed their student teachers during the semester.
“We are honored to have a new cohort of teachers graduating and going out into classrooms,” said Janet Eubank, assistant professor of education. “These students have worked so hard and it is always exciting to watch a group of caring and dedicated educators go forth to serve the next generation of students. The teaching tool kit from Credit Union of America is such a special gesture and we are thankful for their support and encouragement to our new teachers as they begin their educational adventures.”
“Carrying on the legacy of Credit Union of America’s (CUA) founding father, John Michener, a science teacher at East High School, we are excited to provide gifts that will help these new teachers start their classroom careers. We also gift the mentor teachers as their experience is invaluable to the students. In addition, CUA is providing four (4) $1,000 Teacher of Promise scholarships for the coming school year,” announced Frank Shoffner, Credit Union of America CEO.
