(Photo courtesy: University of Southern Indiana) The University of Southern Indiana and the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. are taking steps to address the state's teacher shortage in elementary schools. The two are partnering on a new program that allows high school students to take college level education courses before graduating high school. The Academy of Future Educators allows HS students to complete a minimum of 18 hours of college credit and complete their freshman education coursework before heading off to college.
