When you add UC Merced students majoring in math and science with a mentor teacher it equals real-life experience teaching in local schools. That’s one of the many goals of UC Merced’ CalTeach program, which aims to address the shortage of math and science teachers throughout the Central Valley and beyond. This innovative program provides undergraduate students with specific coursework and field experiences in K-12 schools along with the option to earn their teaching credential. CalTeach is not only one of the biggest outreach programs at UC Merced, but it also helps solve a critical need by putting math and science teachers in local classrooms, said CalTeach Faculty Director Mayya Tokman.
