Project Access

ACCESS logo

The Project ACCESS Grant is an opportunity to receive financial support, advising, and professional development while pursuing a teaching credential. Our partnered consortium facilitates your teacher pathway with online coursework, affordable tuition, and individualized support. Let us help you facilitate your teacher pathway!

Senate Bill 577 specified that the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, in coordination with the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, may award up to three grants to collaboratives formed for the purpose of offering teacher credential coursework remotely in areas of the state with low rates of PK-12 credentialed public school teachers, at a participating community college or colleges. 
 
With this pilot, FRC and the Dual Language and English Learner Education Department at SDSU will act as a “hub” that serves the entire state of  California via partnerships with various county offices across the state to meet the needs of rural areas and areas of high needs such as bilingual education. The rationale for FRC to serve as the hub site is based on two key factors.  First, DLE-FRC, in partnership with the Future Educator Support program, has been able to establish a statewide community-based partnership to form one of the nation’s top teacher credential programs and pathways and the first fully online bilingual credential program in the state of California. Second, there is a critical need for teachers in high-need subject areas that are difficult to fill, such as bilingual, STEM, and special education in the state of California after the passage of Proposition 58. As the demand for bilingual/dual-language programs continues to grow across the state of California, the number of teachers on Short-Term Staff Permit (STSP) and Provisional Intern Permit (PIP) credentials will increase unless programs are created to meet this growing need in rural, low socio-economic status (SES), and other high-need areas in California. FRC is already serving students in these areas of California through the partnership with SDSU, BCOE, and numerous county offices of education. 
 
The consortium will focus on the expansion of the foundation already established through the fully online credential program by adapting the coursework and adding peer mentoring, professional development, and technology support to meet the unique needs of working adults from rural and other high-need areas.

Melissa Nararro

Dr. Melissa A. Navarro Martell (ella/she/her(s)) earned her Ph.D. in Education with a specialization in K-12 education and equity from the Joint Ph.D. Program in Education between San Diego State University and Claremont Graduate School in 2018. Prior to joining SDSU, she was an assistant professor in liberal studies at CSU Dominguez Hills. Her research and teaching center the need to prepare critically conscious bilingual educators on the sociopolitical, ideological, cultural, and linguistic aspects of teacher preparation in general, and K-8 equitable science and dual-language education specifically; pushing the need to decolonize science education. 

Dr. Navarro Martell is a Whisenton Scholar, a partnership between the Whisenton Public Scholars program and the Kettering Foundation that encourages scholars to tryout elements of citizen-centered democracy in the context of teaching, research, and service. In addition, she was recently selected to be a scholar for the Quantitative Research Methods for STEM Education Program, an NSF-funded project offered by the University of Maryland, College Park, aimed at building capacity in STEM Education research. She has been a member of the Research & Equity Scholarship Institute (RESISTE) team at SDSU since 2016 

Her experiences as an immigrant 6th grade student from Tijuana, México, inspired her path as an educator who understands bilingual learners. Dra. Navarro Martell is a former 4th and 8th grade social-justice math and science Spanish/English dual-language teacher.
