The SJSU Lurie College of Education has recently established an Early Childhood Teacher Scholarship to support our students who are future early childhood educators. Learn about our 2021 Early Childhood Teacher Scholarship recipients – Athena, Martha, and Cyra – as they share their experiences in the residency program and how it has shaped them going forward!
The “A Children’s Call for Hope” campaign invites children from early childhood years through middle school to respond to the question: “Where do you find HOPE?“
Through the voices of children and young people, we hope to stimulate the imagination of all of us who need HOPE in these troubled times. We encourage children from around the world to send in their responses — including pictures, poems, stories and animations. We are creating a special platform to share these messages of hope with the world.
