This project is supporting two cohorts of outstanding mathematics and science teachers in the San Francisco Bay Area to become Master Teachers. The carefully organized structure of professional and leadership development activities is supporting a total of 30 teachers though a variety of experiences, including becoming a Teacher-in-Residence at UC Berkeley where the Master Teacher Fellows can take advanced courses in their discipline and engage in research on campus in mathematics, science or education. The project is building on the growing program that Cal Teach has created for teacher education of science, engineering and mathematics students at Berkeley, and on the strong partnerships that have been established with local school districts and with local research institutions. The Math for America-Berkeley (MfA-Berkeley) Program, along with Cal Teach, engages faculty from the STEM content areas as well as from the Graduate School of Education. This interdisciplinary approach to teacher preparation and professional support has been shown to be critical in the context of training secondary mathematics and science teachers for our nation's urban schools, where high quality teachers are severely lacking. The professional development, research, educational and leadership opportunities available within the program provide a unique avenue to develop a cadre of true Master Teachers who can lead the next generation of learning in the critical areas of mathematics and science. The program has a focus on teaching in urban schools that are often under-served, and reinforces the beliefs that every student has (1) the capacity to learn both introductory and advanced mathematics and science, (2) the right to a quality education that supports their learning, and (3) the need for literacy in mathematics, science and technology so that they have access to every opportunity that society can provide.

该项目正在支持旧金山湾区的两名杰出数学和科学教师，以成为主要教师。专业和领导力发展活动的精心组织的结构是通过各种经验来支持总共30名教师，包括成为加州大学伯克利分校的驻地教师，在那里大师级教师的研究员可以在其学科中学习高级课程，并从事数学，科学或教育的校园研究。该项目是基于Cal Teach为伯克利科学，工程和数学教师教育教育创建的增长计划的基础，以及与当地学区以及与当地研究机构建立的牢固合作伙伴关系。美国 - 伯克利的数学（MFA-Berkeley）计划以及Cal Teach与STEM内容领域以及教育研究生院的教师一起参与。在培训二级数学和科学教师为我们国家的城市学校的培训中，这种跨学科的教师准备和专业支持的方法至关重要，在这些数学和科学教师中，高质量的教师严重缺乏。该计划中可用的专业发展，研究，教育和领导机会为发展真正的大师教师的干部提供了独特的途径，他们可以领导下一代学习在数学和科学的关键领域。该计划的重点是通常服务不足的城市学校的教学，并强化了每个学生都有（1）学习入门和高级数学和科学的能力，（2）获得支持他们学习的优质教育的权利，（3）需要在每个机会中访问社会机会的数学，科学和技术方面的识字能力。
