Cal State Northridge, in partnership with the Los Angeles Unified School District, has received a $1 million grant from the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC) to help improve K-12 teaching in math and English/language arts.
The four-year Improving Teacher Quality (ITQ) grant was awarded to assistant professor of secondary education Ivan Cheng, who has developed a plan to improve the teaching of math in middle school by empowering teachers to think “outside the box” and collaboratively.
