About the Programs

DO-IT-YOURSELF TEACHING ADVENTURE PROGRAM
Each semester the DHSI: Education Grant sponsors student attendance and participation in monthly events that highlight the broad range of topics offered by Humboldt's School of Education and campus-wide social justice programming. Students who attend up to 10 hours of eligible events receive a $300 financial aid stipend.
INSTRUCTION-BASED EMPLOYMENT
Each semester, the DHSI: Education grant sponsors the employment of Humboldt students as Instructional Student Assistants (ISAs). This program sponsors the development of mentor relationships between faculty and future teacher students as well as offers paid opportunities to explore teaching. 
TEACHER, EDULEADERS, ADVOCATES, AND SCHOLARS PROGRAM
Each semester, Humboldt's School of Education faculty develop a weekly speaker series geared toward current teacher candidates. Students who attend at least 10 sessions receive a $300 financial aid stipend.

These programs are funded by Cal Poly Humboldt's DHSI: Education project and the College of Professional Studies.
