For the first time, Eastern Kentucky University will be offering an online elementary education degree program. Classes begin in August. Dr. Nicola Mason is the chair of E-K-U’s Department of Teaching, Learning, and Educational Leadership. She said the program is another way to meet the needs of aspiring teachers – and school districts.
“We have a teacher shortage. And EKU is trying to address that in many different ways. We spend a lot of time with our school partners with teachers, principals, and superintendents listening to their immediate needs, and those change over time.”
