Hunter School of Education Awarded Grant for Digital Literacy

Associate Professor of Special Education Rhonda Bondie

Hunter is well-positioned to churn out tech-savvy teachers. 

The School of Education has been awarded a $54,233 Computing Integrated Teacher Education (CITE) Strategic Planning grant. The grant is part of a $14 million initiative to support CUNY teacher-education programs in preparing educators to integrate computing and digital literacy into public-school classrooms effectively and equitably. 

The grant will support the work of the School of Education's CITE team, led by Associate Professor of Special Education Rhonda Bondie, Associate Professor and Director of Childhood Education Kiersten Green, and Kenny Hirschmann, the manager of the Frankfort Center for Learning and Scholarly Technologies. Their proposed work will help advance CUNY’s goal of ensuring teacher candidates receive a coherent, meaningful, and equitable integration of computing across foundations, methods, and clinical coursework. 

“We are excited to be a part of this important initiative,” said Dean Julie Gorlewski, the Larry and Klara Silverstein Dean of Hunter's School of Education. “This grant will allow us to develop a comprehensive plan for integrating computing into our teacher education programs. We are committed to ensuring that our graduates are prepared to use technology effectively to support student learning.” 

The CITE Strategic Planning grant is a critical investment in the future of education. By supporting the development of teacher education programs that integrate computing, CUNY is helping to ensure that all students have access to the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the 21st century.
