SCISM is a new program designed to increase the pool of secondary mathematics teachers. The program consists of six-week sessions of classroom and field experiences in the two summers surrounding the senior year and an academic year field experience with a learning community. In the fall following the senior year, the student will do student teaching. Because this program adds up to 36 additional credits to a student’s program, they will be given tuition scholarships and a cash stipend to cover the additional costs.

SCISM is designed to increase the pool of secondary mathematics teachers defined as highly qualified under the No Child Left Behind legislation by recruiting high performing mathematics majors in the spring of their junior year. The program makes it possible for students to complete the requirements of a B.A. or B.S. in mathematics and secondary certification in a timely, convenient and affordable manner. Field experience is in Phoenix Union High School District.
