ABOUT US

The California Teaching Fellows Foundation (CTFF) serves as an incubator and pipeline for producing knowledgeable, experienced, and diverse future teachers and leaders throughout the state of California. 

CTFF currently serves the six counties of Fresno, Kings, Madera, Merced, Sacramento, and Tulare.

The Teaching Fellows program was created through the vision and hard work of caring faculty from Fresno State’s Kremen School of Education and Human Development who saw a need to provide pre-service work experience to undergraduate college students pursuing a career in education. On-site experience, ongoing professional development, and personalized tutoring were the original Teaching Fellows formula, and those same principles live on today. 

In 2006, CTFF officially became a 501c3 non-profit corporation. In the last 25 years, the program has evolved to include not only future teachers but also community members who all share the same principles of making an impact in the lives of youth. CTFF’s mission is currently at work along the CA 99 Highway. The impact can be seen as North as Sacramento County and as South as Kings County.

Though CTFF has grown and evolved over the last few decades, one thing remains unchanged - CTFF is here to provide the next generation of teachers and leaders who provide exceptional educational programs throughout the state of California. 

Now, several decades later, we are proud to be setting the standard for best practices in Expanded Learning programs and professional development.
