A university in Carson has been awarded $10m in federal grant money, according to a recent article in the Daily Breeze.
California State University Dominguez Hills has received the federal grant in order to create a residency program to train over 250 STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) teachers. The instructors will serve Los Angeles County students up to and including grade 12.
The effort has been dubbed Project REAL, which stands for Residency for Equity through Action and Learning, and is 15 months in length. STEM teacher candidates at the graduate level will receive a stipend of $24,000, and will be paired with already-trained teachers in local schools that are chronically understaffed.
Professor Kamal Hamden is the university's director of the Center for Innovation in STEM Education, and describes the new project as transformational for both the university, and the communities and students it serves.
A residency program already in place will continue for another year, thanks to a grant of $3m, until the new REAL program, funded at $7m, gets up to speed and starts operating.
CSU Dominguez Hills embraces technology, transcending educational boundaries to reach out to students throughout the world. The university also prides itself on conducting its business in ways that are economically, socially, and economically sustainable.
