The Mathematics and Science Teacher Initiative (MSTI)
and the
San Joaquin Valley Mathematics Project (SJVMP)
are pleased to sponsor a
WORKSHOP
to prepare you for the
CSET MATHEMATICS SUBTEST I
__________________________
Individuals seeking a teaching credential can show subject matter knowledge by passing
the appropriate subject matter assessments of the California Teacher Commissionapproved California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET).
This workshop on algebra and number theory will target the January 10 CSET test
date by covering the subject matter needed to pass the first CSET exam for mathematics
teaching (CSET Mathematics Subtest I--for more information on topics covered on this
test, see http://www.cset.nesinc.com/CS_testguide_Mathopener.asp).
If you pass CSET Math Subtests I and II, you are eligible for a Foundational-Level Math
(FLM) Credential if you already have a Single Subject Credential. If you have a Multiple
Subject Credential, you can apply for the FLM credential once you pass a Single Subject
methods course (CI 161 at Fresno State). The FLM credential allows you to teach
Algebra and Geometry at any grade level.
Workshop times: Tuesdays 6:30-8:30 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m.-noon on the following
days: 11/1, 11/4, 11/15, 11/18, 11/22, 11/25, 12/2, 12/6, 12/9, 12/13, 12/16, 12/20, 1/3,
with optional consultation times on workshop Tuesdays, 5:30-6:30 p.m., and workshop

Project on November 1, the first day of workshop).
