Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo CalStateTEACH Transforming Teacher Preparation Through Technology Dr. Robert Cichowski Director, Center for Excellence in Science and Math Education Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo Dr. Helene T. Mandell Systemwide Director, CalStateTEACH
Objectives of the Program
Forming a Unique Partnership Cal Poly—Center for Excellence in Science & Math Education (CESaME) Statewide mission Content experts in Mathematics and Sciences CalStateTEACH: Delivery system allowing for access
CESaME CESaME was established in 2004 as a response to the statewide need for science and math educators in California. It is a university-wide endeavor involving the Colleges of Science and Math, Education, Engineering, Liberal Arts, and Agriculture
CESaME Goals To recruit and prepare more well qualified K-12 teachers in science and mathematics. To provide professional development for K-12 science and math teachers. To promote careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). To study and serve as a repository / disseminator of best practices in K-16 science and mathematics
CalStateTEACH Fall 2005 began its 7th year Developed in 1998 in response to a shortage of elementary school teachers Proven to be a viable alternative route to teacher certification
Central Components of the Program
Creating New Pathways Undergraduate Degree Early deciders Combination - CST model for student teaching away from campus (“Visitor Program”)
Post Baccalaureate - CalStateTEACH program modified for single subject interns and/or student teachers
Second Credential - Methods course and CSET prep
Experience Teaching with Technology Course management system Paperless environment “real-time” ePortfolio Synchronous and asynchronous discussion
Recommendations for Others Considering Implementation
Virtual Discussions Classroom discussion considered an important part of student learning Need online communication that simulates the creation of a classroom community
Suggested Pacing Guides Not all teacher candidates are on the same assignments, so discussion is not relevant or accessible to all Solution: posted a “suggested” pacing schedule to help interns pace themselves
Change perception of “boutique” nature of program Communicate “alternative certification” NOT competition for campus-based programs Delineate audience that fits this model
Internal Challenges How to determine program “fit” for prospective candidates and faculty Retain integrated nature of curriculum in face of increasing state credentialing requirements Establishing meaningful faculty governance in a virtual community
