圣迭戈州立大学获380万美元联邦拨款：培养30名特殊教育教师学徒，学费与实习津贴全包
位于加利福尼亚州圣迭戈县San Diego市的圣迭戈州立大学（San Diego State University）11月3日宣布，该校获得一笔五年期、380万美元的联邦拨款，将试点培养特殊教育教师学徒，缓解加州特殊教育教师长期短缺。
这笔州人员发展拨款（State Personnel Development Grant）经美国教育部与加州教育部发放，2026年10月授出。项目由圣迭戈州立大学研究基金会Interwork Institute与圣迭戈县教育办公室合作执行，覆盖San Diego县与Imperial县，共培养30名未来教育者。
招募对象是在校辅助人员、代课教师、分类职员以及残障儿童家长。课程百分之百在线，学员可获三学期加一个暑期、共24,000美元的学费支持，另有10,000美元实习津贴；临床实习期间由学区付费代课、每周两天。第一批学员2028年1月入学，第二批2030年1月入学。
背景是加州特殊教育岗位的空缺与错配：全州约三分之一的特殊教育教师岗位空缺，在岗者中约55%没有相应的特殊教育资质。项目负责人包括该校特殊教育系主任Bonnie Kraemer教授与Andrew Karhan。
圣迭戈州立大学位于5500 Campanile Drive，是加州州立大学系统成员。校方表示，这一学徒模式若跑通，可为州内其他地区复制。

San Diego State Wins $3.8 Million Federal Grant: 30 Special Education Teacher Apprentices With Tuition and a Stipend Covered
San Diego State University, in the city of San Diego, San Diego County, California, announced on November 3 that it has received a five-year, $3.8 million federal grant for a pilot program preparing special education teachers through an apprenticeship model, aimed at California's long-running special education teacher shortage.
The State Personnel Development Grant is funded through the U.S. Department of Education and the California Department of Education and was awarded in October 2026. The program is run with the SDSU Research Foundation's Interwork Institute and the San Diego County Office of Education, and will prepare 30 future educators across San Diego and Imperial counties.
Recruitment targets current paraeducators, substitute teachers, classified school staff and parents of children with disabilities. Coursework is 100 percent online. Participants receive $24,000 in tuition support over three semesters plus a summer term, a $10,000 practicum stipend, and district-paid substitute coverage two days a week during clinical practice. The first cohort starts in January 2028 and the second in January 2030.
The backdrop is vacancy and mismatch in California special education: roughly a third of special education teaching positions statewide are vacant, and about 55 percent of those serving in them lack the matching special education credential. The program is led by department chair Professor Bonnie Kraemer and Andrew Karhan.
San Diego State, at 5500 Campanile Drive, is part of the California State University system. The university says the apprenticeship model, if it works, can be replicated in other parts of the state.
