University Partnerships

The objective for the Academy for Teacher Excellence Partnerships component is to create school, community and university linkages that assume responsibility to “leave no child behind” and are accountable for the academic success of all students through a seamless K-16 education system.

Field Experiences

The Academy for Teacher Excellence Peer Mentor Program

The University of Texas at San Antonio and San Antonio College received a Title V grant, The Academy for Teacher Excellence. This grant will allow the two institutions to work together in a collaborative effort to increase the success rates of students majoring IDS specifically Hispanic and Minority students. One effort to ensure the goals of this grant is the establishment of a Peer Mentoring Program. We are excited to introduce The Academy for Teacher Excellence Peer Mentor Program.

Mentoring consists of focused and selected activities that seek to enhance and enrich students’ opportunities to succeed to their educational endeavors. Mentoring activities link students with a mentor who will listen, understand, negotiate, and encourage students to utilize all the resources available to achieve academic and personal success.
