New efforts across the community aiming to bring more qualified teachers into CMS

A good education can change anyone, but a good teacher can change everything."I think each one of us can attest to the idea that if you have had high-quality teachers in your schooling, that it leads to more value as a citizen in the future," Dean of the Cato College of Education at UNC Charlotte Dr. Malcolm Butler said.Butler said UNC Charlotte's new partnership with the Barnhill Foundation will open doors for future educators.
