Welcome to
MSTI, Math & Science Teacher Initiative website! This project is funded by the CSU
Chancellor's office to address the serious shortage of math and science
teachers. We strive to increase the number of competent
credentialed math & science teachers graduating from CSU Los Angeles.
Our goal is to build a clear pathway to expedite the
degree/credential procedure
and provide along the way intellectual, financial and social support for
students aspiring to be math and science teachers.
In addition, we are working to build bridges with local high-schools and
community colleges to encourage students to become high-school math or
science teacher.
As a long-term goal, we also intend to propose
curriculum developments to custom-fit the needs of high school math and
science teachers.
Are you interested?
We are looking for dedicated students wanting to
become math or science high-school/middle school teachers. We have 1)
numerous scholarships and forgivable loans for you, 2)
faculty members
from math, science and education willing to help and support you, and 3)
customized curricula that
will take you from start to finish in the shortest
amount of time.
