Middle School / High School Pathway: Our Partners

California State University, Long Beach (CSULB)

Cerritos College and California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) have a long and strong history of working together to improve education.  Currently Cerritos College and CSULB have a model partnership revolving around the preparation of K-6 teachers. This 2+2 program has so successfully integrated the two programs that Cerritos College Teacher TRAC offers a comprehensive, fully articulated curriculum that mirrors almost exactly the first two years at CSULB and is aligned with the California Content and Professional Teaching Standards as well as the California Technology Standards. 

Teacher TRAC and CSULB have extended that partnership to allow students the opportunity to work on their coursework at the Middle School / High School Level and achieve a B.A. Degree in Liberal Arts.  Through the Teacher TRAC Program, students are taught using a comprehensive, fully articulated curriculum similar to CSULB that is also aligned with the California Content and Professional Teaching Standards as well as the California Technology Standards.

In addition to this extended partnership; two new articulation agreements were formed with CSULB in the last few years.  The first is part of a new program to recruit and prepare secondary mathematics and science teachers.  The second curriculum pathway is to recruit and prepare special education teachers at all levels of education.

Norwalk / La Mirada Unified (NLMUSD)

Cerritos College and Norwalk / La Mirada Unified School District have been working together for a number of years.  With the support from the Norwalk/La Mirada School District, Cerritos College Teacher TRAC has been able to provide hands on experience and mentoring to Teacher TRAC Students, especially our Math and Science Teachers.  This grant allows us to continue our working relationship with the district in creating a pathway for future teachers at the Junior High and High School Level.  We appreciate all the support the District has supplied to us and our students and look forward to many more collaborative projects with the District in the future.

John Glenn High School (JGHS)

The TS3P Program has been working closely with the Teachers, Administrators, and Staff at John Glenn High School.  John Glenn High School, who has worked hard in promoting student success and academic excellence, collaborates with parents, students, the community of Norwalk, and other agencies including the Teacher TRAC program in helping their students to be successful not only in school, but also in life.  In this collaborative effort, John Glenn High School has allowed our students to receive hands on experience in teaching, observing, and mentoring in the high school classroom.  In addition, this partnership has allowed our students to teach, mentor, and guide the future college students of tomorrow.  We appreciate the support of John Glenn High School as they help us prepare our future teachers for their careers in Teaching.
