Stem teacher recruitment at california state university, fresno

Despite a rebounding economy and an increase in the number of available teaching positions, there is still a struggle to fill certain positions. Some of the most difficult positions to fill are traditional secondary Math and Science positions. As education has turned towards educating students for the 21st century, it has also become important to develop more education in STEM related topics such as Engineering and Computer Science. The Central Valley has begun to adopt career pathways programs that require some teachers to have industry experience and a specialized credential to provide more courses that provide hands on experience. This has created an even larger need to produce more teachers in the STEM field.
