UCLA Cal Teach Applications
UCLA Cal Teach is now accepting applications for our Winter Quarter 2024 courses!
We offer UCLA science and math majors the opportunity to explore teaching as a career.
Specifically, our quarterly seminars include internships in K-12 schools where you can help out with science and math activities, interact with kids, learn about teaching, and observe different teachers in action.
This is a great opportunity to improve your science and math teaching, communication and outreach skills, regardless of your ultimate career choice.
We are planning to offer the following courses for Winter 2024:
- Math 74XP (Elementary School, Math Focus) – 3 units/pass no pass
- Science Education 1XP (Elementary School, Science Focus) – 2 units/pass no pass
- Science Education 10XP (Middle School, Science Focus) – 2 units/pass no pass
- Science Education 100XP (High School, Science Focus) – 5 units/letter grading
The seminar portion will meet once per week (in-person) for all four courses. Courses will be associated with a total of 20-24 hours of engagement at our partner schools (~2.5-3.5 hours per week). School visits will be in-person.
Applications and Additional Information
Once you have filled out the online application and are accepted into the course, we will send you a PTE (Permission to Enroll) to enroll through MyUCLA. The first round of PTEs should be sent out just prior to the beginning of second pass.
Priority Application Deadline: Wednesday, November 15, 2023. However, we will continue to accept applications through first week of Winter Quarter, until all spots are filled.
