CalTeach is a University of California system-wide program to recruit, prepare, and support exceptional K-12 teachers in science and mathematics. The initiative began in response to both state and national concerns about the critical shortage of highly qualified elementary and secondary teachers. CalTeach at UC Santa Barbara includes opportunities for both undergraduate students and graduate teacher credential candidates.
The goal of CalTeachTogether is to expand the community of future educators, and provide members with a place to learn and discuss important topics and issues within the field of education. The club also plans monthly activities.
The following meetings for the quarter will be on May 6, which will feature a Q&A with Teacher Education Program students and on May 20, which will feature a special guest speaker. The Zoom links will be available on the group’s Instagram account @calteachtogetherclub and on Shoreline. Newcomers are always welcome.
