Mt. San Antonio College (Mt. SAC) is a federally-designated Hispanic-Serving Institution, and is the largest single campus of California's 112 community colleges. The campus is located about 30 miles east of Los Angeles. Two factors speak to the need for the preparation of more and better science and mathematics teachers in this area: student mathematics and science test scores for several of Mt. SAC's top feeder high schools are in need of improvement and there is a predicted dramatic attrition among the population of middle-school and high school teachers. To address the need for more and better science and mathematics teachers, Mt. SAC is developing a sustainable multidimensional program to recruit, counsel, and direct likely students that have the desire and potential to become highly-qualified middle school and high school mathematics and science teachers. The project, titled Mt. SAC STEM Teacher Preparation Program (STEM TP2), is providing the students with (1) a cluster of academic support, (2) enrichment activities, (3) teaching opportunities, and (4) authentic research experiences designed to promote student success. The overarching goal of this project is to develop a sustainable, multidimensional program that will recruit and retain students with the potential and desire to teach. The PI team is working with the existing Mt. SAC Teacher Preparation Institute to develop the process through which students will be recruited. The project is also articulating with the teacher preparation programs at the California State University, Fullerton and the University of California, Irvine so that Mt. SAC students can transfer seamlessly into a baccalaureate teacher preparation program. Student participants are selected from among students majoring in science and mathematics areas and particular emphasis is focused on recruiting students of color, females, Hispanics, veterans and first-generation college students that have a desire to teach.

山圣安东尼奥学院（Mt. SAC）是联邦政府指定的西班牙裔服务机构，是加州112所社区学院中最大的单一校区。校园位于洛杉矶以东约30英里处。 有两个因素说明需要在这一领域培养更多更好的科学和数学教师：学生数学和科学考试成绩。SAC的顶级高中需要改进，预计初中和高中教师人数将大幅减少。 为了满足更多和更好的科学和数学教师的需求，山。SAC正在开发一个可持续的多维计划，以招募，咨询和指导有愿望和潜力成为高素质的中学和高中数学和科学教师的学生。该项目名为Mt。SAC STEM教师准备计划（STEM TP2）为学生提供（1）一系列学术支持，（2）丰富活动，（3）教学机会，以及（4）旨在促进学生成功的真实研究经验。该项目的总体目标是开发一个可持续的，多层面的计划，将招募和留住有潜力和愿望的学生教。 PI团队正在与现有的Mt. SAC教师准备研究所制定的过程中，通过该学生将被招募。 该项目还与加州州立大学富勒顿分校和加州大学欧文分校的教师准备方案进行了衔接，以便使山。SAC学生可以无缝地转入学士学位教师准备课程。 学生参与者是从科学和数学专业的学生中挑选出来的，特别强调招收有色人种、女性、西班牙裔、退伍军人和第一代大学生。
