The Professional Associated Program partnership with The College of Education and Integrative Studies, TQE, and surrounding schools is featured in the Cal Poly Pomona Panorama magazine this month.
An excerpt:
Credential Students Learn From Education Pros
“Puberty, gangs, peer pressure, teen pregnancy and homelessness are just a few of the issues teachers face in today’s classrooms. For prospective teachers who want to know what the job is like, there’s no better way than to learn from the veterans.”
The Professional Associates Program is funded by a $6.3 million Teacher Quality Enhancement (TQE/Teacher PREP) grant from the U.S. Department of Education that Cal Poly Pomona received in 2004. For more information, visit TQE / Teacher Prep.

Please congratulate our very own Martin Garcia for being 1 of 6 High School seniors selected nationwide for the Presidential Scholarship at Villanova University out of 825 applicants! Martin only found out about the Presidential Scholarship the day it was due. Wendy Duran-Alli from Project GEAR UP has worked with Martin since his freshmen year and knew he was not the type of student to leave such a major request to the last minute. Wendy agreed to help him if he got started on a draft. Long story short is that Cynthia Scott (our part-time counselor), Martin and Wendy literally finalized his nomination letter at 11:50pm via email, and he submitted his application at 11:55pm. He flew for interviews, and he was notified of his $280,000-$300,000 scholarship. GREAT JOB Project GEAR UP Team!
