Goals of the Proposed Partnerships 1. In view of the shortage of mathematics teachers in California the Teacher Academy offer an excellent opportunity for the Department to recruit students into becoming mathematics majors within the teaching option. The program establishes strong connections to many local high schools. During their undergraduate studies, these students will be hired as paraeducators in District schools.

Students are in cohorts in which they all take the same first three periods.
All students in the program take the same English and science classes. Teachers emphasize teaching methods. Students take additional coursework in Spanish to pass the AP Spanish Exams. There are currently 10 teachers who work in the Academy. More will be added next year when the 12th grade is added.
