Undergraduate Mathematics and Science Education Initiative (UMSEI)

教育研究（EDS）和物理科学部（PSD）在加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）正在合作的一项倡议，以显着增加本科STEM专业谁追求事业在公立学校教学的数量。UCSD本科数学和科学教育计划（UMSEI）是加州大学系统范围内加州教学计划的一部分。2006- 2007年，教育部和私营部门司在数学教育和科学教育方面开设了两个本科未成年人课程。这些未成年人从事低年级STEM学生在早期的实地经验和教育基础课程，学科特定的教学法和密集的学徒经验，以准备学生进入UCSD研究生实习生证书计划的高年级学生。未成年人的重点是支持内容特定教学法的发展，强大的教学实践加上深厚的内容知识，在视角K-12数学和科学教师。围绕加州教学项目的工作也支持教育研究和物理科学司之间关于教师知识和准备的深入和一致的合作。诺伊斯奖学金资金用于招募65名数学，化学，物理，地球科学和工程专业的本科未成年人和研究生实习生证书计划。UCSD EDS教师证书计划和UMSEI计划与当地社区学院建立了合作伙伴关系，包括圣地亚哥社区学院，Grossmont社区学院，Palomar社区学院和Mira梅萨社区学院，以招募他们的转学生到该计划，以及与圣地亚哥联合学区，Grossmont联盟高中学区，Sweetwater联盟高中学区，Gompers特许学校，High Tech High Charter、Preuss School Charter和Guajome Park Academy Charter支持本科STEM专业的丰富经验。

Education Studies (EDS) and the Physical Sciences Division (PSD) at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) are collaborating on an initiative to significantly increase the number of undergraduate STEM majors who pursue a career in public school teaching. The UCSD Undergraduate Mathematics and Science Education Initiative (UMSEI) is part of the University of California Systemwide California Teach Program. EDS and PSD implemented two undergraduate minors in mathematics education and science education in 2006-07. These minors engage lower-division STEM students in early field experiences and upper-division students in education foundation coursework, discipline-specific pedagogy and intensive apprenticeship experiences to prepare students to enter the UCSD graduate intern credential program. The focus of the minor is to support the development of content specific pedagogy, powerful teaching practices coupled with deep content knowledge, within perspective K-12 mathematics and science teachers. The work around the California Teach project has also supported deep and consistent collaboration between Education Studies and the Physical Science Division about teacher knowledge and preparation. Noyce Scholarship funding is utilized to recruit 65 mathematics, chemistry, physics, geoscience and engineering majors into the undergraduate minors and graduate intern credential program. The UCSD EDS teacher credential program and the UMSEI program have partnerships with local community colleges, including San Diego Community College, Grossmont Community College, Palomar Community College, and Mira Mesa Community college, to recruit their transfer students to the program as well as partnerships with San Diego Unified School District, Grossmont Union High School District, Sweetwater Union High School District, Gompers Charter School, High Tech High Charter, the Preuss School Charter, and Guajome Park Academy Charter to support the extensive experiences of undergraduate STEM majors.
