GEM Group SETUP Project
Executive Summary• In California there is a shortage of science teachers
with each type of degree. Because of this, instructors are assigned to teach classes in areas they have not studied.
• The quality of classroom instruction is compromised.
• Students are not meeting standards set by the state and nation.
• SETUP will provide instructors with complete, well thought out lesson plans and also unique features such as how to manage a science activity.
• SETUP will take the guesswork out of planning and replace it with proven concrete instructional methods.
• A positive impact will be made on academic achievement for the students.
• Teachers will be well rounded to all facets of teaching a lesson.

Introduction
• SETUP is committed to meeting the needs of teachers in grades 9-12 in science.
• A web-based tutorial will be available to assist in the formulation of instructional strategies,lesson plans, resources, and troubleshooting.

GEM Group SETUP Project
Objectives
• Primary audience
• New and existing High School teachers instructing Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in the Salinas High School District.
• Have a degree in some area of science but not directly credentialed in the subject they are teaching.
• Secondary audience
• Students grades 9-12. In general, an overall poor academic performance on California/U.S Standardized Tests.
• 40% of the students are White, 50% are Latino, the other 10% represents a broad demographic. In regards to the Latino population, over 70% of these students come from families that work in the surrounding agriculture fields.

Needs Analysis: Teachers
The Salinas High School District needs standards-based teaching
One in five teachers in the Salinas Valley and neighboring communities does not have a proper teaching credential
Eighty of the district's 540 teachers are in the first or second year of service.
The majority who are teaching Math, and Science, are teaching with a substandard credential.

Needs Analysis: MPUSD Teachers
• Every year about 5% are new to the profession
• From those 11% lack full credentials
• By their fifth year 20% have left the district
• Different ethnic background
26% non white teachers
40% of the students are minority
• Little or no training in teaching to state/national standards

Needs Analysis: MPUSD students
Monterey Peninsula Unified School District
MPUSD students outscores Salinas High School District, but
results are also dismal
20% of its graduates are UC/CSU eligible
36% statewide are UC/CSU eligible
This disparity affects all racial/ethnic groups
Low income families
