Staying "active" in Teacher Prep
In order to remain an "active" member in the Teacher Preparation Institute, every member must attend a counseling appointment with Randy Wilson or Will Daland once every Fall and Spring semester.
Staying "active" with TPI will allow members to continue to receive our support and services, which include early registration, book loans and workshops.
Effective Spring 2012 the requirement that all students have an appointment each semester with either Randy Wilson or Will Daland will no longer be required to maintain an "active" status. Instead, every TPI will require 5 hours per semester of volunteer or paid work. Donation of needed TPI textbooks and/or filling out TPI surveys can also count for hours. If more than 5 hours of work is done in one semester, it can roll-over to the following semester. The options to meet these hours are geared toward enhancing your experience with the age group you wish to teach in the future and include:
- Volunteer for the Mt. SAC Inside the Outdoors program in the wildlife sanctuary (2nd-3rd grade tours)
- Volunteer for the annual Mt. SAC Science Day in May 2012
- Student Instructor (paid) at Mt. SAC
- Mt. SAC English tutor
- Mentor a new TPI member
- Volunteer at Cal Poly Biotrek Rainforest (K-12 class tours)
- Volunteer at El Camino Space Science Day in April 2012
- Volunteer as a classroom aide for Mt. SAC apple classes
