Who We Are

The Teaching Pathways & Field Experience Office (TPFE) supports the entire journey into teaching — from recruitment and admissions, to advising and student teaching, and on into district partnerships. Our mission is to prepare and sustain equity-minded educators by guiding candidates, supporting mentors and supervisors, and working closely with schools to strengthen pathways into the profession.

The Vision

Our vision is that every teacher candidate has the support, resources, and opportunities to grow into a confident, equity-minded educator. By linking recruitment, preparation, and partnership, TPFE serves as the bridge between San José State University and the communities our future teachers will serve.
