Get Involved
Here are a few ways to get involved:
Cal Poly Humboldt Chapter of the Student California Teaching Association
The largest student organization in California with members on more than 70 campuses, the Student California Teachers Association (SCTA) is for college students who are pursuing careers as educators.
SCTA provides opportunities to address the broader aspects of education such as technological advances, governmental policies and issues, social issues and philosophical controversies. Local chapters, such as the one at Humboldt, provide support with job interviewing skills, resume writing, classroom management, multicultural education and more. Chapters also serve as a forum for advising students about the education programs provided at their institutions while providing opportunities to network with professional educators.
The Cal Poly Humboldt chapter plans volunteer opportunities in the community and elementary schools. The club is open to all students and we welcome questions and ideas about how to make this club a success. If you know of an event coming up that we could help with, come on in and let us know. We also love to team up with other Humboldt clubs on campus, so if you are part of another club, come in and tell us about it.
We are very focused on helping each other. We can answer questions about classes, the credential program, teachers, and anything else you may want to know. We want to make our time here at Humboldt a success so that when we go off to become teacher’s, we are prepared!
