2010-11 APPRENTICE PROGRAMS
Despite severe budgetary constraints and cuts, SMI and the ALPHA Center
continue to dedicate their resources to enhance SMI students' preparation
for careers as science/mathematics educators. Thirteen candidates (5
renewals and 8 new candidates) have been invited to participate in one of
the two SMI and ALPHA Center Apprentice Programs: CUSP (College University
School Partnership) and CMST (California Mathematics Science Teacher
Initiative) for 2010-11 academic year. The formal selection process
purposely mimicked an employment selection process. Candidates prepared and
submitted written applications to document their pre-teaching professional
preparation and experiences. Candidates who successfully passed the
application process were invited to a formal interview with the selection
committee. Each quarter, apprentices will complete between 35 to 50 hours
of active field experiences in local middle and high school
science/mathematics classrooms.
Congratulations to our 2010-11 apprentices:
* Marissa Baker *
Kimberly Morris
* Julie Bon
* Dean Nguyen
* Madison Elkins *
Jasmine Perey
* Tommy Hoang *
Karina Rodriguez
* Kimberly Ludwig *
Michelle Thomas
* Yahaira Martinez-Lopez * Monika

* John Valdez
A Transportation Solution
Have personal transportation challenges prevented you from exploring
science/mathematics teaching as a possible career and/or from gaining
valuable field experiences such as EDUC 3 and EDUC 4? Delay no more!
Consider reserving a Zipcar!
For an annual membership fee of $35, rental rates during the weekdays are $8
per hour, or $66 per day. During the weekends, rental rates are $9 per
hour, or $72 per day. Rental rates include gas, insurance, and up to 180
driving miles. Unlike traditional rental cars, drivers only need to be 18
years of age (rather than 21). You can access Zipcars parked right on
campus. Members ages 21 or older have access to the Zipcar's network, which
includes over 6,500 vehicles throughout the U.K. and North America. To learn
more about how you can sign up for Zipcar membership, please visit
www.zipcar.com/ucr/.
