Cal Teach supports STEM majors and teaching credential students at multiple stages of their journey toward becoming classroom educators. Students enrolled in EDSTEM 187 are undergraduate STEM majors exploring teaching through hands-on classroom placements, where they serve as near-peer mentors and university role models for K–12 students. Alongside them, our dedicated EDSTEM 303 teaching credential students are completing rigorous training and fieldwork as they prepare to become full-time educators. Together, these students embody the Cal Teach pipeline as they move in their journey from early classroom experiences to professional preparation and, ultimately, careers in education.
