Fall / Winter 2026

Welcome to Our Fall/Winter 2026 Newsletter!

As we approach the final stretch of the Fall 2026 semester, our students continue their journey toward earning Single Subject Teaching Credentials, with some also pursuing a Master of Science degree in Science Education. We are excited to celebrate their accomplishments and share their stories with our community.

In this issue, you’ll meet two teacher candidates who completed the San José State University Single Subject Credential Program in Science last spring. You’ll also meet a Science Education alumnus immersed in his teaching practice, and learn about the projects of three recent graduates of the Master of Science in Science Education program. In addition, we feature SJSU lecturer and high school physics teacher Rachel Peters, who led her class on a field trip to RAFT, a valuable resource for local teachers. We also highlight SJSU’s Learning Assistance program.

Finally, we share upcoming events for local teachers and applicants interested in learning more about our programs.

We hope you enjoy this issue and wish you a joyful and restorative holiday season.

Resa Kelly, Professor and Chair of Science Education, SJSU
