THE LEBRON JAMES FAMILY FOUNDATION
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
UA students attend classes and teach elementary students at new I PROMISE School
More than 70 students from our LeBron James Family Foundation College of Education are attending UA classes and completing field experiences at the new I PROMISE School (IPS) in Akron this fall.
The public elementary school – which grew out of the foundation’s I PROMISE Program for at-risk students in Akron Public Schools (APS) – has designated one of its classrooms, called “Roo Town,” to be the home for select courses in our Early Childhood Inclusive Teacher Preparation Program in the Department of Curricular and Instructional Studies.
These courses require or offer field experiences at the I PROMISE School, allowing our students to observe, teach and mentor third- and fourth-grade pupils.
