STEM Teacher Pathways
Reed-Honda Educator Preparation Reform Act
Connections with STEM Can Lead the Way:
 Advances teacher preparation partnerships
 Provides support for well-supervised clinical practice
 Tightens up accreditation standards and renewal
 Gives entities flexibility while requiring data that
demonstrate they are improving student learning
STEM Teacher Pathways
 CSU Programs to Watch (STEM Can Lead the Way)
 Cal Poly SLO: Teacher in Residence/Clinical Faculty Member
 East Bay, Long Beach, Sacramento (Chico and SDSU): Rigorous
Foundational Level General Science, Math Preparation
 CSU Fullerton: Retraining faculty to integrate technology into
higher education and teacher preparation
 CSU Long Beach and LBUSD: Retraining laid-off teachers and
redesigning induction with a STEM focus
 CSU Long Beach and LBUSD: Grow your own pipeline that now
includes elementary STEM Rich Clinical Demonstration Sites
STEM Teacher Pathways
CSU’s New Science Reform for Future K-6 Teachers
1) Significantly strengthen K-6 science teacher preparation
2) Equip future K-6 teachers as leaders in NGSS implementation
3) Integrate mathematics, technology, and engineering
applications
4) Address crosscutting concepts in science content and pedagogy
5) Increase teacher confidence and excitement about science
