Teaching Secondary School Scholar Program (TS³P/TS₃P)
Math & Science: TS3P Partners

California State University, Long Beach (CSULB)

Cerritos College and California State University (CSULB) have a long and strong history of working together to improve education.  Currently Cerritos College and CSULB have a model partnership revolving around the preparation of K-6 teachers. This 2+2 program has so successfully integrated the two programs that Cerritos College Teacher TRAC offers a comprehensive, fully articulated curriculum that mirrors almost exactly the first two years at CSULB and is aligned with the California Content and Professional Teaching Standards as well as the California Technology Standards.  During the past year, two new articulation agreements were formed with CSULB.  The first is part of a new program to recruit and prepare secondary mathematics and science teachers.  The second curriculum pathway is to recruit and prepare special education teachers.

Norwalk / La Mirada Unified (NLMUSD)

Cerritos College and Norwalk / La Mirada Unified School District have been working together for a number of years.  With the support from the Norwalk/La Mirada School District, Ceritos College Teacher TRAC has been able to provide hands on experience and mentoring to Teacher TRAC Students, especially our Math and Science Teachers.  This grant allows us to continue our working relationship with the district in creating a pathway for future teachers in the Math and Sciences for Junior High and High School.  We appreciate all the support the District has supplied to us and our students and look forward to many more collaborative projects with the District in the future.
