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.
– Rachael Heinsen '20 |
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.
– Reed R. Buck '20 |
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.
