<h2><strong><br />Faculty-in-Residence Program: $20,000</strong></h2>
<p>The objective of the <em>Faculty-in-Residence program</em> at the East St. Louis Charter School is to increase Charter School student achievement by strengthening the partnership between the School of Education and the Charter School. Through this program, a faculty member from the School of Education will be reassigned one course load per semester to support the administration, faculty and underserved students in the Charter School through professional development, curriculum work, classroom demonstrations and other means to be agreed upon between the awardee and Charter School personnel. An annual amount of $20,000 will provide the faculty member with two course releases, travel expenses, instructional materials and a graduate assistant.</p>
