Grant Aims to Close Male Teacher Shortage

California faces a looming teacher shortage, and, in particular, a deficit in the number of men interested in working in elementary education.

Hoping to help alleviate the problem, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has awarded California State University, Northridge a $385,651, three-year grant for a teacher-preparation project aimed at increasing the number of men — particularly African-Americans, Asians and Latinos — who want to work in elementary education.
