I want to become a teacher
Interested in becoming a teacher who can teach CS? Learn about the UCLA Teacher Education Program STEM+CS residency program for pre-service teachers. This specialized 2-year graduate program includes a one-year residency and stipend in LAUSD. Students will graduate with:
- a Master’s in Education degree
- guaranteed employment in LAUSD, and
- certification to teach Math/Science and Computer Science
UCLA STEM+CS is an innovative teacher residency program that integrates a secondary single-subject credential in Math or Science and courses for a Computer Science Supplementary Authorization (CSSA).
Our approach to Computer Science is grounded in social justice and equity as we strive to disrupt dominant notions of neutrality in both STEM and CS fields. Instead, we critically analyze our world through a humanizing lens within the CS and STEM fields.
“I always wanted to be part of a supportive and a diverse community and TEP is just that. My peers and I share a passion for transforming urban education and it is very encouraging.”
