The Science Education Program at San José State University is well positioned to meet the increasing demand for well-qualified and prepared science teachers in our community. Our program focuses on three aspects of science teacher education: recruitment and undergraduate experiences, pre-service training and preparation at the credential level, and professional development for in-service science educators. Our network of partners within 菠菜网lol正规平台 and with school districts in the greater San José area ensures that our students receive essential hands-on training to fully prepare themselves for careers as science educators.
