Alumni Testimonials

UCI's MAT program taught me more in one year than I thought was possible: it forced me to completely reconsider what it meant to be a great teacher and, just as importantly, was incredibly helpful in finding teaching positions for myself and other students.
- Javier Rodriguez '20

UCI's MAT program empowered me to keep equity in the forefront of my mind through every aspect of teaching. With every decision I make in the classroom, I consider how I can serve each of my students in their best interest.

The MAT program was foundational in helping me grow as both an educator and as a person. Its focus on social justice and the needs of all students has revolutionized the way I think about school.

UCI's MAT program will train you to think critically about pedagogy and how to be pragmatic as you consider the students' growth as mathematicians, biologists, chemists, historians, journalists, and more.
