The
percentage of school-aged students (ages 5-17) of color
is expected to increase to 44% by the year 2020. However,
based on current statistics, only 15% of the students
preparing to become teachers are diverse. The University
of Delaware is committed to preparing a diverse corps
of highly-qualified teachers. Thus, the ASPIRE program,
established in 1991, supports the recruitment and retention
of students from underrepresented groups enrolled in professional
education programs at the University of Delaware.
