Program organizers encourage graduate students or anyone interested in teaching at the community college level to apply.
The team at SOCCCD strives to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment. As part of this commitment, they aim to enhance the diversity of staff and faculty to better represent the student population. With that in mind, they are in the second year of offering B.L.O.O.M., a program designed for interns aspiring to teach at the community college level. B.L.O.O.M. interns will be paired with mentors who provide an immersive experience related to developing curricula, engaging students, and establishing inclusive learning environments.
