Bridge to Excellence Scholars Program
Mayor London Breed announced the Bridge to Excellence Program, which will provide scholarships to highly-motivated graduating high school seniors from low-income and under-resourced communities in order to help overcome financial barriers they face to attend college. The program will award up to two students from each of San Francisco’s public high schools with $2,500 each in scholarship awards. SFUSD high school seniors who can demonstrate a financial need and are the first in their family to attend a four-year college are encouraged to apply. Students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.20. The online application can be found at: sfmayor.org/priorities/education. The application window will be open until Monday, April 29, 2019. The Mayor’s Office will review all qualified candidates and notify recipients by the end of May.

California Commission on Teacher Credentialing TPA Assessment
Join the CTC in the work of scoring the Commission’s Model Teaching Performance Assessment (CalTPA). There is an urgent need for single subject assessors in Art, Music, PE, Math, and World Languages. The Commission is seeking current California teachers who help prepare beginning teachers to participate in operational scoring of the CalTPA. Training and calibration will involve a combination of at-home preparation and in-person training sessions offered in Northern and Southern California. Scoring will be completed online through a secure portal. Assessors will be paid for their time in training, calibration and scoring. For more information about assessor qualifications and to apply, visit www.ctcexams.nesinc.com.
