  • COVID-19 Updates

    March 13, 2020

    In light of COVID-19, CSUSM is taking important measures to reduce the spread of the virus.  Beginning March 20, 2020, we are shifting our instruction to remote/virtual formats.  In addition to transitioning our instructional practices, we will also have reduced campus-based operations as we ask staff to shift appropriate workload responsibilities to remote operations as much as possible. We have also canceled all University-sponsored events through April 30 and may extend that as needed.

    Since our campus operations will be conducted remotely as much as possible, if you need assistance and support, please contact Sorcha at sbarrdeneen@csusm.edu.

  • Education Professor, Christiane Wood publishes: The Literacy of Play and Innovation: Child

     By Marilyn HuertaChris Wood Book

    February 22, 2019

    “The Literacy of Play and Innovation provides a portrait of what innovative education looks like from a literacy perspective. Through an in-depth case study of a “maker” school’s innovative design–in particular, of four early childhood educator’s classrooms–this book demonstrates that children’s inspiration, curiosity, and creativity is a direct result of the school environment. Presenting a unique, data-driven model of literacy, play, and innovation taking the maker movement beyond STEM education, this book helps readers understand literacy learning through making and the creative approaches embedded in early literacy classroom practices,” said Professor Wood.

  • Grant Will Help Increase Number of Latinx Teachers

    By Brian Hiro
    October 8, 2018Pat Stall

    Cal State San Marcos believes that there should be more Latinx teachers in public K-12 schools.  Now the University has the money to help accomplish that very goal. Late last month, CSUSM was awarded a $2.7 million, five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education for the recruitment, support and preparation of Latinx teachers. The grant is titled Project SUPPORT – which stands for Serving Underrepresented Populations Partnering for Opportunities and Rewards in Teaching – and it’s part of the Department of Education’s Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions program.
