Diversity
CalTeach graduates in STEM majors are highly diverse.
In comparison with all STEM majors at UC, CalTeach graduates are more diverse across demographic indicators, including gender, ethnicity and families’ college background.
In keeping with the program’s mission to prepare educators who themselves reflect the growing diversity of California students, nearly three-quarters of 2022–23 CalTeach STEM graduates were from underrepresented1 or Asian backgrounds.
CalTeach participants are working in high-need schools.
In 2022–23, CalTeach students participated in field placements in more than 262 K–12 schools ranging widely in economic and educational characteristics, where they gained real-world classroom experience. 42 percent of fieldplacement hours were earned in high-need schools designated as having LCFF+ status.
All data shown are the most recent available. New numbers will be posted as updated information is collected and processed.
