The Early Teaching Experiences in Mathematics and Science scholarship program offers CSUSB students a unique opportunity to explore K-12 STEM teaching. Once students have completed their first year of coursework in their major, they become eligible to apply. Through this immersive experience, participants gain a deeper understanding of what is involved in a teaching career and can then use this knowledge to make an informed decision about pursuing a career as a K-12 teacher. You have the option of participating in the program for either one or two semesters and would be eligible for a scholarship each semester.
- Gain hands-on exposure to teaching science or mathematics in a K-12 classroom.
- Observe local K-12 classrooms and meet and interview local mathematics and science teachers.
- Receive up to a $1,500 scholarship per semester for up to two semesters.
Requirements
- Spend a minimum of 20 hours in K-12 classrooms, which can include observing classrooms; meeting with teachers, principals, or other faculty; and/or facilitating extracurricular STEM activities.
- Submit logs of your activities (signed by the ETEMS scholarship recipient and the teacher whose class was observed, or whose meeting you attended) at the end of the semester.
- Regularly attend and participate in meetings with other ETEMS students, advisors, and project staff as determined by the program.
- Complete and submit a reflection of your experience at the end of each semester.
- Receive up to a $1,500 scholarship.
