We discuss the program developed at UCLA for teaching future mathematics teachers. The main components of the program include a yearlong hybrid capstone/methods course for seniors interested in teaching and a Mathematics for Teaching major. Mounting such a program requires the collaboration of mathematicians and math educators to address the overlapping mathematical and pedagogical aspects of the mathematical knowledge required for teaching. The program is attuned to the special circumstances of a department whose primary focus is research and the training of graduate students. We discuss some of the problems encountered in developing such a program.
