CAL-MSCS Program Vision
The CAL-MSCS program's overarching vision is to ensure that every California educator experiences the professional learning and support necessary to provide high-quality mathematics, science, and computer science education for all students in the state. CAL-MSCS aims to achieve this vision by cultivating statewide communities of practice, providing guidance and support for local teams to build responsive, professional learning systems at the county or regional level, and facilitating coordination with other statewide initiatives in TK-12 mathematics, science, and computer science education.

Testimonials
Teacher Participant
My CAL-MSCS science professional learning experiences have stood apart from other professional development opportunities I’ve had because of how intentional and responsive they’ve been. CAL-MSCS science has been incredibly supportive—setting aside additional time to check in with rural representatives and providing targeted assistance and resources when needed. We felt heard and valued, rather than treated as an afterthought.”
Cecilio Dimas, Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative
This work creates structures that re-invite students and families to engage in mathematics.
Rachel Ruffalo, EdTrust-West
What’s really exciting is that teachers from all over the state are getting the support they need.
Principal
Immersive learning allowed me to see firsthand the impact of hands-on, interdisciplinary computer science. I left inspired and equipped to support teachers more effectively in computer science.
