The Teacher Education Program at UC Santa Barbara names 10 Gevirtz Scholars
The Teacher Education Program in the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education at UC Santa Barbara has named 10 Gevirtz Scholars for the 2009-2010 academic year. The 10 teaching credential candidates all were awarded $1000 and rose to the top of a distinguished field of applicants thanks to their demonstrated leadership to date in the program.
The awardees are:
Laura Diaz – Multiple Subject Credential (MST); Kim Fuller – MST; Lisa Cowles – MST; Billy Xayaphone – MST; Laurie Henry – Single Subject Credential (SST) science; Abbie Korman – SST English; Chris Mac Dougall - SST English; Bridget Moran - SST English; Calvin Sadhu - SST History/Social Studies; Brett Sawyer - SST History/Social Studies.
UCSB’s Teacher Education Program offers the Multiple-Subject, the Single-Subject (in five content areas), the Level I Education Specialist Moderate/Severe Teaching Credential, and an M.Ed. degree. The programs are run as a cohort, with the elementary and secondary cohorts no larger than 60 students each, and the special education cohort no larger than 15. Candidates are placed in partner K-12 schools throughout the 9-month academic year, student teaching in the morning and attending university classes in the afternoon/evening. The Teacher Education Program is unique in that many of its faculty both supervise candidates in the field and teach university courses. The result is a cohesive, well-articulated program of study that takes candidates through each developmental phase of learning to teach.
