 Eighteen CalTeach Science and Mathematics Program graduates, Cohort 8, celebrated earning their STEM degree + Teaching Credential at the June 14th UCI CalTeach Science and Math Program Reception. The graduates have completed course requirements in a rigorous program that combines scientific training in math and science and field experience student teaching in Orange County elementary, middle, and high school classrooms. UCI’s CalTeach program is a collaboration among three schools - Biological Science, Physical Science, and Education – that enables undergraduates to complete both their STEM degree and a single subject teaching credential in a minimum of four years. The 2019 cohort represented the various fields of study available through the CalTeach program.
As part of the June 14 ceremonies, CalTeach Director Doron Zinger and Master Teacher Kris Houston announced the recipients of two new awards: CalTeach Champion, given to Dean Ken Janda, and the CalTeach Student Service Award, given to Shantel Lopez. Both awards will be bestowed on a yearly basis.
Following the awards, Zinger acknowledged and thanked the CalTeach faculty, fieldwork supervisors, and mentor teachers for their guidance and support during the student teaching experience.
