Danni McConnell and Ashley Morales from UC Santa Barbara’s Gevirtz School Teacher Education Program have been selected as recipients of the William and Charlene Glikbarg Foundation Fellowships for 2016-17. McConnell has just received her Single Subject Teaching Credential in History/Social Science and her M.Ed.; Morales has just received her Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and her M.Ed.
The primary mission of the William and Charlene Glikbarg Foundation is to help others, especially those with low income. Fellowship recipients have made a commitment to teach in a low-income, ethnically diverse community where students may not complete their high school GED and/or are not historically college-bound, and where dedicated teaching can positively affect the future for otherwise disadvantaged students.
