The first Education Officer was Juan R. Burciaga, then at Bryn Mawr College. The Constitution was later amended to make the Education Officer a member of the Board. Mentoring on the WEB&#8232; 1998-2000&#8232; The Education Office set up the infrastructure for a web-based mentoring program whose primary objective was to reach students who did not have immediate access to Hispanic-American faculty and needed to discuss issues with them. Eventually the project was postponed until the Society grew enough to provide an acceptable number of mentors.

Following in his parents footsteps he began his career teaching physics and mathematics (grades 10-12) in La Paz. But in 1964 he decided to emigrate to the United States. He first attended Universitad de Puerto Rico to take extra courses in mathematics and physics but arrived in the United States still speaking little English and without a teaching certification valid in the USA. While working as a technician at a computer factory he went to night school and obtained first an associates degree in electronics (Pasadena City College, 1969) and then a B.A. in mathematics (CSU, Los Angeles) before earning his teaching credentials in 1974. Jaime Escalante began teaching mathematics at Garfield High School in 1974. At first the situation was very discouraging. The students were under-prepared and unmotivated in the classroom, and the administration opposed the changes he felt necessary to bring greater rigor, discipline, and... http://www.hispanicphysicists.org/recognition/bioEscalante/ Fri, 02 Apr 2010 18:51:29 GMT Content Managers http://www.hispanicphysicists.org/news/ <div><strong>Jaime Escalante (31 December 1930 - 30 March 2010)</strong><br></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>On Tuesday, March 30, 2010, Jaime Escalante, the high school mathematics teacher who inspired generations of students in predominantly Hispanic East Los Angeles, passed away. Escalante, a Bolivian by birth, was 79 and until relatively recently was still teaching mathematics in his home country. In 1988 he became one of America's most famous teachers when Edward James Olmos portrayed him in the film <em>Stand and Deliver</em>, which celebrated his successful introduction of the AP Calculus AB curriculum at Garfield High School in East Los Angeles.&nbsp;</div><div> <br></div><div>He made national headlines in 1982 when 18 of his students passed the AP Calculus AB exam and the Educational Testing Service challenged the test results. Most of these results were reinstated following a retest. In 1983, almost double the number passed, and by 1987, over 70 students were passing the AP Calculus AB exam and students had begun to pass the BC exam.&nbsp;Escalante's unwavering belief in the potential of his primarily Chicano/a students, and success in guiding them to academic achievements, challenged traditional ideas about what a successful mathematics student looked like.&nbsp;</div> <div><br></div><div>The National Society of Hispanic Physicists mourns the passing of this extraordinary teacher and hero and recommits itself to carrying on his rich legacy of promoting the success of Hispanic youth in the mathematical sciences.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Read more on <a href="http://www.hispanicphysicists.org/recognition/bioEscalante/">Jaimie Escalante</a>. <br></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>See other notices from</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2010/mar/31/local/la-me-jaime-escalante31-2010mar31">the LA Times</a> <br></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125398451">NPR</a></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><a href="http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-03-31/bay-area/20828818_1_jaime-escalante-mr-escalante-hiram-johnson-high-school">San Francisco Chronicle </a><br></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>all referenced 31 March 2010. <br></div> http://www.hispanicphysicists.org/news/ Fri, 02 Apr 2010 07:36:48 GMT Content Managers http://www.hispanicphysicists.org/education/career-advice/ We use to say that if you were good there were many jobs available to you. But we can no longer say that. On the other hand, there are presently no careers which can guarantee you a job when you leave college. So while you are in college you might as well major in something that is interesting to you. The important thing to keep in mind is that an education in physics prepares you for much more than an academic or research career. The training you receive in computers, problem solving, appyling mathematics to situations, in experimental techniques, and in thinking logically and rigorously about the physical universe prepares you for virtually any career you choose. Many students do go on to pursure advanced degrees in physics, engineering or a related field but others pursue careers in very different areas.
