Science and Mathematics Initiative (SMI)

 

UC Santa Barbara
Science and Mathematics Initiative (SMI)


Recruiting, supporting, and preparing exceptional Science and Mathematics teachers.

The Science and Mathematics Initiative (SMI) is a University of California system-wide program to recruit, support, and prepare exceptional secondary science and mathematics teachers. The initiative began in response to both state and national concerns about the critical shortage of qualified science and mathematics teachers. Here at UC Santa Barbara, SMI combines quality undergraduate courses and classroom experience to prepare students to enter a teacher credential program, such as the Gevirtz School’s Teacher Education Program. The experiences and resources of SMI are offered to both UCSB undergraduates and prospective transfer students from regional community colleges. Most importantly, SMI depends on the participation of students, mentor teachers, UCSB faculty, and donor partners.
