Sonoma State’s STEM Teacher Education Pathways (STEP) is a collaboration between the School of Education and the School of Science and Technology, funded primarily through the California State University’s Math and Science Teacher Initiative (MSTI) program.
We strive to expand and diversify the pool of highly prepared TK - 12 educators to teach and integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in classrooms across the North Bay and the surrounding region.
Our mission is to provide high-quality pathways and programs that support the teaching and learning of STEM through training, professional development, scholarships, and research.
STEM Teacher Education Pathways (STEP) offers an outstanding and comprehensive array of academic programs and certifications. These include single subject credentials, certifications, two affiliated school districts, various university STEM departments, support programs such as MESA, and more than three residency programs for candidates.
