EDUCATION FUTURES

Expanding Teacher Preparation Programs:

Building regionally aligned Teacher Preparation Programs (TPP) to recruit, train and support diverse teachers and ameliorate critical teacher shortages in STEM, CTE and other high need areas.

Practice makes perfect

TPP emphasis is on addressing the critical need in California for teachers with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) backgrounds. California’s demand for new math and science teachers in the next 10 years is expected to exceed 33,000, far surpassing the number of STEM teachers that the state is expected to produce. In addition, an estimated 51,500 openings for elementary school teachers and 31,100 jobs for secondary school teachers will occur statewide between 2010 and 2020. Despite the increased need for new teachers, fewer college students are choosing careers as teachers.
