What if every 6th grade student entering a California public middle or high school was assured seven years of math and science teachers who have the skill and support to fully serve them and with whom they share critical identities? We're going to find out. Trellis Education is an organization supporting the development of long-term models for STEM teacher education and professional learning that support these pathways being not just possible, but the norm for California students. We support teacher preparation providers and partner school districts creating and enacting "gold standard" pathways for recruiting, preparing, supporting, developing, and retaining ambitious, effective STEM teachers.
