The Classroom-Based Externship
The CBE is an opportunity for aspiring educators to experience how STEM teachers manage a classroom at the beginning of the academic year. Standard Field Placements bring pre-service teachers into the classroom for a few hours per week -- but this externship immerses CalTeach students in "a day in the life" of a teacher.

The CBE and Financial Aid
Students are advised that the participant support stipends, like other scholarships and awards, may adjust their current financial package. Students should speak to the Financial Aid Office in Sproul Hall to see what, if any, adjustment may occur, or if you any other have concerns regarding the scholarships.
You must be a U.S. Citizen, National, or Legal Resident in order to apply.
