In 1924, San José State students adopted Spartans as the official university mascot and identity, recognizing the legacy of social progress established by previous generations of educators, innovators and pioneers at One Washington Square. In the ensuing 100 years, as we emerged from the heart of San Jose to become Silicon Valley’s original startup, Spartans have advocated for civil rights, won Olympic medals, trained countless teachers, engineers and entrepreneurs, and helped transform the university into the epicenter of the future.
Our campus is on a mission to capture the history of Spartans at #SJSU, and they need our help! Contribute your favorite memory to the timeline — whether it's a personal achievement, a memorable event or a significant milestone. Together, we'll expand this timeline with our collective memories and experiences.

EDD GLOBAL FIELD EXPERIENCE RECAP
|
| |
|
| |
|
This summer, Lurie leaders Eduardo Muñoz-muñoz,Veneice Guillory-Lacy, and Liliana E. Castrellón led a group of students from Cohorts 9 and 10 of our Ed.D. Educational Leadership Program in a two-week global field experience in Spain with colleagues from the University of Cordoba. The experience was part of the program's goal of preparing leaders who can understand the causes of inequitable outcomes in education and develop ways to improve opportunities for all students, especially those from minority groups.
Check out these great photos of our amazing Ed.D. cohorts in Spain!

LCOE + SAN JOSÉ EARTHQUAKES
GAME NIGHTS RECAP
|

|
| |
This summer, Lurie College partnered with the San Jose Earthquakes to put on education nights for our partnering summer cohorts and mentor teachers. This exciting opportunity united our community in a special way as we welcomed friends, families, and future educators for two nights of fun. Between the June 15th and July 13th games, we had 78 mentor teachers sign up!
We are thrilled to share that there will be future similar community opportunities such as these as we continue to seek out ways to engage in local, family-friendly spaces. Check out these captured memories from this exciting collaborative night for our educators community.

A message from The California State University, Academic & Student Affairs
Please consider sharing this resource that is now available for current and prospective teacher candidates on the Commission on Teacher credentialing website- under their roadmap to teacher preparation section. This is a comprehensive listing of financial aid resources available to teacher candidates:
These resource materials were developed by a statewide intersegmental workgroup led by WestEd, that I represented the CSU on. A companion piece on how to braid funds to support clinically rich programs such as residencies will be released soon, also on the CTC website. Both resources have been field tested by faculty, program directors, and students and revised per their feedback.
If you would please share these links widely with program coordinators, advisors, recruitment contacts and others, so they may encourage students to look into the funding that is available to them as they pursue teacher credentialing.

Participant Testimonial
“ The Audit Your Syllabus course gave me a fresh perspective on a class that I’ve been teaching for a number of years. I regularly engage in course review, but I appreciated the opportunity to systematically study my course— highlighting accessibility, cost, and diversity. The design of the course is user friendly, materials are thought provoking, and reflection exercises are relevant. One of my favorite aspects of the course is the supportive community that Sara Bakalian and Jane Dodge foster.They are knowledgeable, inspiring, responsive, and encouraging.”
— Aubrey Uresti, Counselor Education Department
The participants in this Spring’s Audit Your Syllabus program took a deep dive into their own course syllabi and updated their materials for accessibility, cost, diversity! They also created surveys to gain valuable insight from their students. Are you interested in learning more? If so, please check out the
Audit Your Syllabus - Public Version to get inspired!

LCOE STUDENT HARDSHIP FUND
|
| |
|
| |
The Connie L. Lurie College of Education makes funds available to support students who have experienced an unforeseen financial hardship that will prevent them from continuing their enrollment. Most often cited are the challenges of meeting the costs of living (transportation, rent, and other expenses) during the unpaid student teaching/ counseling requirements for becoming an educator.
|
| |
|
| |
"I am very grateful to have received the Hardship Grant! Because of the funding, the cost of gas for my internship has been covered which is really helpful for me. I'm really grateful that the Hardship Grant exists because it increases the equity for students who are financially insecure. Thank you so much to the committee and donors!"
