Christa Mcauliffe Award

Cal State Northridge officials will travel to Washington next week to accept an award for a university program that helps new teachers thrive in the classroom. A 1991 Christa McAuliffe Award, one of eight given nationwide by the American Assn. of State Colleges and Universities, will be given to CSUN in recognition of "creating new strategies for ensuring the quality of graduates in the field of education."

Time and again, Ian Collins, a 19-year-old senior at Birmingham High School, has had to prove that he can get along as well as anybody--despite the cerebral palsy that keeps him confined to a wheelchair.

Cal State Northridge is one of four public universities nationwide honored for outstanding programs in teacher education by the American Assn. of State Colleges and Universities. The university won the Christa McAuliffe Showcase for Excellence Award for its work with the Los Angeles Unified School District to create the Comprehensive Teaching Institute. The institute prepares teachers to work in urban, multilingual, multiethnic elementary and secondary schools.
