The reoccurring theme for me was that, poverty makes a
difference. Resources, exposure and experiences, knowledge of
child development, and school services make a difference.
Instead of bringing equality through reducing poverty, our
society is continually consolidating wealth in the hands of a few.
As an example, a single family, the Walton family of Walmart
ownership, has a net worth equal to the totality of the lowest 40%
of American families combined. That 40% love their children as
much as we love Riley, but often do not have the resources to
provide them with the same opportunities that we do and will
provide to her.

Mathematics and Science Teacher Initiative
(MSTI)
Since its inception in 2006, the Mathematics and Science
Teacher Initiative (MSTI) has actively supported the production
of math and science teachers for Central Valley classrooms
through numerous programs and partnerships, helping to support
an increase in the number of math and science teachers produced
annually at Fresno State from 25 to 92 during MSTI’s first 7
years. MSTI supported the development and delivery of middle
school mathematics and science teaching methods courses
and has offered 116 inexpensive or free CSET courses/workshops
for prospective math and science teachers since 2008. (For the
current schedule of workshops, visit www.fresnostate.edu/
kremen/teachmathscience/). MSTI also reimburses CSET
and Single Subject credential application fees for math or science
credential applicants.
To encourage early professional engagement and promote
lifelong learning, MSTI actively encourages and supports
undergraduate and credential student attendance at a variety of
STEM conferences and workshops (e.g., California STEM
Summit, CSTA/NSTA and CMC conferences, Central Valley
CUE conference, Central Valley Science Project, San Joaquin
Valley Mathematics Project, etc.).
MSTI also provides free memberships in state and national
math and science education organizations to students enrolled in
math/science teaching methodology courses. MSTI provides
funding for the Early [Math/Science Classroom] Field
Experience, coordinated by SMEC. To entice Liberal Studies
majors to pursue a STEM concentration, MSTI provides
scholarships for enrollment in the concentration’s innovative
science and engineering courses. One of these courses is Physics
Pedagogy and Outreach, where our preservice teachers gain
important experience and confidence in teaching science to K-16
students at over a dozen different school sites and other venues
(e.g., hospitals, television stations, and STEM conferences) each
semester.

MSTI supports a number of
exciting STEM-related experiences for K-8 students in
afterschool, weekend, and summer programs coordinated by the
Office of Community-Based Learning. Many prospective
teachers are involved as instructors and receive valuable training
and experience teaching STEM-related topics such as robotics,
aeronautics, programming, and Web page design. MSTI also
defrays the registration fees of preservice teachers for workshops
where they learn new content and pedagogy that is used to teach
middle school students in (a) the Math Department’s Summer
STEM Academy or (b) the Earth and Environmental Science
Department’s Earth Science Academy.
MSTI enthusiastically promotes math and science teaching as
a career option for PK-12 students through co-sponsoring
and providing support for events such as Reedley College’s
STEM Conference (April 25), the regional MATHCOUNTS
competition, Sonia Kovalevsky Day, and Central Valley Robotics
competitions.
MSTI is funded through grants from the CSU Chancellor’s
Office and is directed by Dr. Carol Fry Bohlin. May Lee serves
as Administrative Coordinator and career advisor. MSTI has
provided cost share and in-kind support for a number of grants
supporting our mathematics and science credential candidates
(e.g., FRESTEF--a Noyce scholarship program funded by NSF;
Fresno Unified Teacher Residency Program, funded by the U.S.
Department of Education; and the Liberal Studies STEM
Concentration, funded by the S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation).
MSTI also supports Fresno State’s STEM website, developed to
provide a “one-stop shop” for the campus’s numerous STEM
activities (www.fresnostate.edu/academics/stem/).

Credential Candidates Attend the Annual
Teacher Recruitment Fair
The annual Teacher Recruitment Fair was held on Thursday,
March 12, 2015 at the Exhibit Hall of the Fresno Convention
Center. This year Jessica Choy was in charge of the preparation
for the event. Ninety districts and two hundred and two teacher
candidates attended the Teacher Recruitment Fair. A few of the
many districts that attended the fair included Clovis, Fresno,
Central, San Francisco, Sanger, Riverdale, Los Angeles,
and Madera.
On Thursday the day began
with a continental breakfast for
the district administrators
followed by interviewing
credential students from
9:30am-12:00pm, lunch,
and more interviews from
1:00pm-4:00pm.
The districts were able to identify the type of credential a
student obtained or planned on completing in May by the
lanyards that were provided for the students the day of the
Teacher Recruitment Fair. A student who identified with the
multiple subject or the dual credential wore a red lanyard,
students completing a special education credential wore a green
lanyard, and students who identified with the single subject
credential wore a yellow lanyard.
The overall impression of the Teacher Recruitment Fair was
that it was well organized. The students in the credential
program and alumni from Fresno State enjoyed the opportunity to
interview with many districts in one location.

Doctoral Program
Candidates Participate
in Conferences on
Education
For many, a doctoral
program serves as a catalyst to
transform how educators
envision their work from that of
a consumer of information to a
creator of information. Our
doctoral students at Fresno State
are creating information by
experimenting with new
pedagogies in PK-12 schools,
writing up the research,
and disseminating that
information in conferences
and publications. Recently, a
group of 8 students with the
support of the doctoral program
are building on their class
research and readings to present
at the annual meeting of the
Society of Instructional
Technology and Teacher
Education in Las Vegas in
March, the conference for
Global Learning in Berlin,
Germany, (www.aace.org) the
Outlawed Conference at the
Arne Nixon Center for Research
in Children’s Literature at
Fresno State
(www.outlawed2015.com)
and the Chavez Conference for
Literacy and Educational Policy
at Fresno State
(www.chavezconference.us).
In a class on literacy
and technology, conference
presentation topics included the
use of Twitter to engage high
school students in critical
perspectives on early 19th
century American romanticists
such as Henry David Thoreau
and Walt Whitman. Other
papers addressed teacher
readiness to teach using
pedagogy appropriate for 1:1
technology classrooms.
Another explored the support of
Latino students through the use
of storytelling and critical race
theory. This transformation
from consumer to creator of
knowledge, the culture of
scholars that is developed,
and the mental habits are
formed are likely to last well
beyond their time of graduation.
