<div>During teacher recruitment calls with school district administrators, <strong>Donna Ross</strong> often hears a touch of desperation when the topic turns to certain subjects. </div><div> </div><div>“The panicked calls come late in summer asking about chemistry and physics,” said Ross, an associate professor of science education at San Diego State University. “Most years, we just don't have applicants for those areas. I'm lucky in my methods course if we have one physics student." </div><div> </div><div>It’s far from a local problem. California has faced a statewide teacher shortage for years, and science teachers are one of the most acute areas of need. </div><div><span></span></div><a href="http://sdsucoenews.blogspot.com/2022/09/12-million-nsf-grant-funds-new-science.html#more"></a>COE Communicationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01747220119623826134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695260729975074308.post-82542591808388207502022-09-20T15:35:00.004-07:002022-09-20T15:43:24.146-07:00An Alumna's Journey From Migrant Student to San Diego County Teacher of the Year<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="Photo by Terri Rippee." style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Juanita Nuñez smiles as she holds her San Diego County Teacher of the Year award." border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWLCHsKnwXGeaIRVn_R_50_OiLFp5u8_BYHV40nEFaDHufmh__vwO4V5HjsCukjKWikIyyrYFVSeREsBfEbJysbv3Kq6w8O6vxnCWT3Fio3ElFht9slsNUoFM9UMpaks4rXnf-hAqlocrU3a7tVK2TyarHLVCs3tEXkWpjFbyo19DKEUkpQ48j-1Y5/s16000/Nunez%20Blog.jpg"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6d6e6f; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">Photo by Terri Rippee.</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br><div class="byline">By <a href="http://sdsucoenews.blogspot.com/p/news-blog-authors.html" rel="author" title="I & I News Blog Authors">Michael Klitzing</a></div>

<div>As the new school year approaches, a major change is coming to elementary education in California: public schools are about to get younger.
<br> </div><div>This fall, schools will open transitional kindergarten (TK) programs serving children who just missed the kindergarten cutoff, turning 5 between Sept. 2 and Dec. 5. It’s California’s first baby step toward a goal of universal TK for all 4-year-olds — an ambitious vision that foresees enrolling more than 300,000 children and hiring tens of thousands of newly qualified teachers by 2025-26. </div><div> <br>San Diego State University’s College of Education is eager to help the state meet massive, looming workforce needs — and do so in a way that puts teachers in TK classrooms who understand the unique developmental needs of their youngest pupils. </div><div><span></span></div><a href="http://sdsucoenews.blogspot.com/2022/08/sdsu-ready-to-assist-as-california.html#more"></a>COE Communicationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01747220119623826134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695260729975074308.post-22848172876951184642022-07-20T14:22:00.002-07:002022-07-20T14:23:37.744-07:00Katherine Sciurba Brings Academic Magic to Comic-Con Harry Potter Fandom Panel<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Katherine Sciurba and Naim Martin" border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOi5SzzL5-A_je8_Qa6EujymWCz4NoV9pD0UGSA0zj1dmCb06Ttdl75ktbUK5Ok_Y-MWAuQblMSAltBZugfx5Yqxgfwc7E9j5928v5Kq2QiloHQ9IOICfswJp9WVjyIEwfLGVabWWQOGP1nnOS7PawcqrkEH0McZ1MmxZqQwijGAadFhimAJkYRCjr/s16000/SciurbaBlogger.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Katherine Sciurba and Naim Martin</td></tr></tbody></table><br><div class="byline">By <a href="http://sdsucoenews.blogspot.com/p/news-blog-authors.html" rel="author" title="I & I News Blog Authors">Michael Klitzing</a></div>
