Students have the opportunity to participate as a volunteer or paid teaching assistant in a middle
or high school science or math classroom so that they can begin to learn the craft of teaching
before they are admitted into the credential program. Student who receive financial
compensation can earn between $10-$12 an hour depending on the financial support that is
available. Eligible students are those who plan to (a) teach science or math and (b) to transfer to
Fresno State (or are currently Fresno State students). Contact: Jaime Arvizu – 559-278-5173 or jaimea@csufresno.edu
