STEP is a full-time, 12-month program that combines theory and practice throughout. Teacher candidates gain classroom experience during the day. In the afternoon, they attend courses, including a weekly seminar designed to foster community and support their growth as educators. Coursework and field work are designed to prepare graduates to meet the practical and intellectual challenges of the teaching profession, to serve the needs of diverse students, and to take leadership roles in schools and communities. STEP elementary teacher candidates take a minimum of 45 units, distributed over four quarters and leading to a master's in education and a preliminary California multiple subject teaching credential. They may also opt to earn a California Spanish bilingual authorization. Each candidate participates in two to three classroom placements under the supervision of expert cooperating teachers and a university supervisor.
