As California continues to address critical shortages of fully credentialed mathematics teachers, the recent action of the Commission on Teacher Credentialing adds to the number of available subject matter preparation programs in mathematics. Prospective teachers of mathematics now have three additional options available for completing their subject matter
competency requirement.

At its April 10, 2008 meeting at the Riverside County Office of Education, the Commission approved the following new subject matter programs in mathematics:

* California State University, East Bay (Hayward, CA)
* San Francisco State University (San Francisco, CA)
* Vanguard University (Costa Mesa, CA)

Over the next decade, school districts will face teacher shortages in all subject areas due to large-scale teacher retirements. Shortages in mathematics, science, and special education continue to be the most severe. Universities and local school districts continue to identify ways to fill the gap and to meet local needs. One way to ensure that teachers are available to teach the needed subject areas is for universities and local education agencies to offer more subject matter programs for teaching credentials.

  An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't. - Anatole France (1844 - 1924)
