Stephanie Kasai and Branden Navarro from UC Santa Barbara’s Gevirtz School Teacher Education Program have been selected as recipients of the William and Charlene Glikbarg Foundation Fellowships for 2017-18. Kasai is receiving her Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and her M.Ed.; Navarro is receiving his Single Subject Teaching Credential in English and his 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.
