Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) announced that the House of Representatives approved $400,000 in federal appropriations funding for teacher training at California State University, Northridge (CSUN).
The funding was included in the Labor – Health – Education Appropriations bill for the 2010 fiscal year. The legislation, which passed the House yesterday, requires Senate approval before being sent to the President for his signature.
California State University, Northridge has become a leader nationally in developing new approaches in “clinical training” for teachers. If the legislation becomes law, the appropriated funds would be used to develop and implement a new clinical training model to prepare new teachers and other professionals for our schools.
"We thank Congressman Sherman for focusing his work on our efforts at California State University, Northridge to break new educational ground. He has been a tireless supporter of our programs," said Cal State Northridge President Jolene Koester.
“I will continue to work to promote progress in education, especially here in the San Fernando Valley,” said Congressman Sherman. “Rebuilding our economy isn’t just about making sure the jobs are here, it is about making sure we promote our children’s education and that they are being taught by well-trained teaching professionals.”
