Leadership

CalTeach is administered by nine University of California campuses in conjunction with many community college partners. The CalTeach Executive Committee, comprised of one dean and/or faculty member from each campus, is responsible for advising on the academic content of the program as well as setting policy. The Committee meets quarterly, with special sessions convened by the chair as needed. The UC provost and executive vice president appoint the chair.
