About CalTeach
CalTeach is a program for undergraduate majors interested in developing a deep understanding of STEM teaching & learning. Our coursework focuses on STEM pedagogy, educational theory and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, with concurrent field work in local classrooms and tutoring centers. Cal Teach offers a minor in Science and Math Education, as well as a unique opportunity to complete a California K-12 science or math teaching credential as an undergraduate simultaneously with their undergraduate degree.
History
CalTeach was proposed and funded in 2005 and began hosting courses in 2006. Over the next few years the program expanded its course offerings, and by 2010 the Science and Math Education minor had been fully implemented. That same year the experimental CalTeach Credential Program was approved. Also occurring in 2010 was the founding of Cal Teach's sister program for veteran teachers, Math for America Berkeley. These two programs together comprise the Berkeley Science and Math Initiative (BSMI).
Announcement: The ARC (Advising & Resource Center) is Open!
The CalTeach ARC, located in Evans Hall 30 on the ground floor, is a space for students and staff to check out inventory items, utilize our fridge and microwave, ask quick questions to our peer advisors, and hang out.
Due to capacity limits, the ARC is being used primarily for 15-minute ARC and inventory visit slots. You can sign up for a slot at tinyurl.com/arcinventory. Please visit our inventory website at: calteach-inventory.myturn.com.
If you would like to sign up for a peer advising appointment, we are conducting those virtually! Please sign up at tinyurl.com/calteachpeer or email us at calteach_peers@berkeley.edu.
Reminder: Please wear a mask indoors and complete the Daily Symptom Screener before coming onto campus. Thank you!
