THE UNIVERSITY OF<br />
NORTH TEXAS AT<br />
DALLAS PARTNERS<br />
WITH DALLAS<br />
INDEPENDENT<br />
SCHOOL DISTRICT<br />
UNT Dallas is full steam ahead in<br />
various partnerships with Dallas<br />
Independent School District as<br />
it relates to the diversity among<br />
male teachers and early college<br />
career paths for middle and high<br />
school students. <strong>The</strong> purpose of this<br />
partnership is to create pathways<br />
for more males of color to enter the<br />
teaching profession.<br />
“Research shows that students who<br />
have teachers that look like them<br />
have higher rates of success,” said<br />
John Vega, deputy chief of Dallas<br />
Capital Management (HCM).<br />
As we gear up to promote THRIVE,<br />
Call Me Mister, and the Early College<br />
Teacher program, we would like to<br />
share a little more about each of<br />
these initiatives with our UNT Dallas<br />
faculty, staff, students and alumni.<br />
“This is a triple win for the men who<br />
choose to pursue this calling. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
can make a difference in the lives of<br />
students, have a stable career, and<br />
have the potential<br />
for high earning<br />
within Dallas<br />
ISD,” said Dr. Lisa<br />
Hobson, Professor<br />
and Interim<br />
Dean of the UNT Dallas School of<br />
Education. UNT Dallas is excited<br />
to partner with Dallas ISD to offer<br />
these educational opportunities to<br />
students in our southern<br />
Dallas communities.<br />
