Overall the experience was great! I had great instructors...I received tremendous support from my instructors and professors.

In our jobs we have to constantly be changing and constantly be challenging ourselves, because the students are constantly changing.

I think being in the classroom with other teachers at Sonoma State is inspiring!

The PUERTA Project

PUERTA The PUERTA (Preparing Underrepresented Educators to Realize their Teaching Ambitions) Project seeks to increase the number of Latinx teachers serving in K-12 public schools. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, PUERTA seeks to improve the practices and remove the barriers that prevent undergraduate Latinx students from earning a teaching credential at our institution. PUERTA has three primary goals: 1) to increase Hispanic and Latina/o student persistence and graduation rates, 2) to increase the number of Hispanic and Latino students who earn a teaching credential and 3) to increase the number of students who transfer to SSU from a two-year HSI.
