Our Graduates

The courses also count toward the 32 units of mathematics needed for the subject matter authorization in mathematics. These authorizations allow multiple subject credentialed teachers to teach math through the ninth grade. In addition, successful graduates of this program have become math coaches or resource teachers at the school, district or county levels. A few graduates of the program are teaching elementary mathematics methods courses at the college level.
