School Partners
The PRIDE project seeks to ensure that all teachers understand and respect the unique cultural backgrounds of their students and that all students are empowered to succeed within the STEM fields. We are partnering with Fenton School District 100 and Leyden School District 212 to provide teacher professional development that orients participants in the use of culturally relevant pedagogy.
