FULLERTON : $40,000 Earmarked for Teacher Program
Cal State Fullerton has been awarded $40,000 to help boost the number of new mathematics and science teachers at the elementary and secondary level, the U.S. Department of Energy announced.
The award, one of 10 such grants awarded to universities across the country, goes to Fullerton professor Helen Taylor for a program aimed at increasing the number of ethnic minorities teaching math and science.
“In order to improve mathematics and science education in this country, more young people must become interested and involved in teaching mathematics and science to the next generation of students,” said Richard Stephens, director of the Energy Department’s office of university and science education.
