The MSTI (Math and Science Teacher Initiative) Affiliate Scholars Program is designed to recruit and train students to become highly-qualified middle school or high school math and science teachers. This program aims to show middle school and high school students the benefits and possibilities of pursuing a college degree at a CSU by connecting them with passionate CSUEB undergraduates who can act as near-peer mentors to the next generation of college students.
The MSTI program employs CSUEB undergraduate students as MSTI Teaching Assistants to provide in-class assistant to K12 teachers in HUSD, FUSD, and CVUSD. MSTI TAs are paid $17/hr to engage in teaching-like activities under the mentorship of a dedicated teacher supervisor. Enrolling in this program will help satisfy the 45-hour service requirement for all California teachers, give you priority admission to the CSUEB Teaching Credential Program, and jumpstart your teaching career.
MSTI Scholars are paid $17/hr for up to 20 hours per week to join a local K12 teacher in their classroom (in-person and/or virtual) to assist with lecturing, demonstrations, activities, pre-class preparation, tutoring, classroom engagement, student management, grading, and lesson instruction. Your work week may look like:
MSTI TAs serve as near peer mentors for local K12 students who gain educational support in their classroom and build connections with college student
MSTI TAs provide local K12 students with informal exposure to higher education and the possibilities of a future at a college or university.
