The Office

The Cal Teach office is located in the Bison Modulars behind Nat Sci I and II. On the UCI map app, it is located under BSA (Biological Sciences Administration) and in suite 137 from 8am - 5pm.

There is a plethora of resources here. Come here whenever you need a quiet study place with a computer and a printer. It is also equipped with many high school math and science textbooks, along with practice books for the CBEST, CSESTS, CAHSEE, and also materials for any discovery lesson plans!

Many Cal Teach students enjoy lounging on the couches or even having group discussions in the conference room. Don't bother fighting for a study room in the libraries or CSL, we have one right here!

Kris Houston

If you have taken a few Cal Teach courses, you've probably have already met Kris! She used to be a teacher in Santa Ana and also writes the math curriculum for several districts! If you have any questions about fieldwork placement or math lesson planning, she is the go-to gal!

Fun fact: Her secret in balancing everything is by starting her day at 5am to do burpees and to relax with the occasional boba while sitting on a yoga ball.
Terry Shanahan

With Terry around, you better make sure you're eating healthily! With that being said, she is the main science master teacher in the program. She earned her doctorate at USC and is often seen in many Education events. She has a lot of knowledge to share with us!

Fun Fact: Terry is vegetarian and loves sports! Her team are USC football and the Angels. That doesn't restrict her from watching other sports though!
