California Community Colleges, Chancellors
Office Teacher Preparation Pipeline Grant
The project is intended to address the need for Career Technical
Teacher/Educators at the secondary and community college level. This
project, CTE Pathways in Teacher TRAC, will develop the necessary
infrastructure to create six new CTE Teacher Preparation Pathways: three for
future high school teachers, and three for future community college
teachers. For more information, please visit the
Teacher TRAC CTE
Pathways Page.
Carnegie, Hewlett Grant
This initiative is part of an ongoing collaboration between
The Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching and
The William & Flora Hewlett Foundation. The grant affords us the
opportunity to introduce a systematic approach to implementing new and
innovative pedagogical strategies in developmental English and Mathematics.
These funds also support a faculty development program that will increase
the success and retention of all students, particularly those requiring
pre-collegiate courses in English and Math. In addition to this, the
Grant provides support for a much needed systematic approach to improve
student learning by structuring activities and assessing learning outcomes.
National Science Foundation TS3P Grant
Funding from the National Science Foundation is provided to the Teacher TRAC
program to develop a secondary school Mathematics and Science Teacher
Preparation Program called Teaching Secondary School Scholar Partnership (TS3P).
The overall goal of TS3P is to increase the number of secondary
school teachers who have a single subject credential in Mathematics or the
Sciences. For more information, please visit the
Teaching Secondary School Scholar
Partnership (TS3P) Page.
Former Grants that have supported Teacher TRAC:

American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) Teaching Scholar Partnership:
Funded by the National Science Foundation, co-sponsored by
AACC, The Council of Independent Colleges and the Independent Colleges Office,
the project awarded the two-year grants to 28 community colleges and
four-year colleges. The TSP Project aims at enhancing science and math
instruction in K-12 classrooms while encouraging undergraduate students to
consider teaching in the areas of math and science. Teaching Scholars graduating from the Teacher
TRAC-TSP project
at Cerritos College will be able to transfer directly to California State
University, Long Beach for completion of their degree with a concentration in
math or science. For more information, please visit the

Teacher
Reading Development Program Chancellor's Grant
The purpose of the
Teacher and Reading Development Partnerships effort is to encourage
community college students to pursue a career in teaching.
Applications initiated by the community colleges in teacher preparation will
be articulated with teacher education programs at California State
Universities (CSU) and local school districts. Each partnership will
offer a curriculum that includes elementary classroom fieldwork to assist
students in developing improved reading skills.
Long Beach
Elementary Science & Mathematics Teacher Education Program (LBESTEP):
LBESTEP {1999 - 2004} was a National Science Foundation {NSF} funded 3 year
collaborative effort between California State University, Long Beach and
Cerritos College Teacher TRAC to focus on and improve K-8 teacher
preparation in mathematics and sciences in Southern California.
