Distinctive Program Identity
UTeach has an established identity as a prestigious secondary STEM teacher preparation program that attracts high caliber students, experienced and successful master teachers, and tenure-track faculty who are interested in the reform of STEM education. Cross-College and School District Collaboration UTeach is a formally coordinated effort of the College of Education, the College of Engineering & Science, and the College of Applied & Natural Sciences. Long-Term Institutional and Community Support UTeach is a long-term institutional and community priority that is sustained through ongoing financial support from university and college administrators, as well as a broader range of stakeholders concerned with STEM education reform. UTeach is afforded a level of stability similar to other university departments and is not simply an outreach effort. Compact and Flexible Degree Plans UTeach offers four-year degree plans that fully integrate students’ STEM content major requirements and UTeach program requirements and allow students to obtain secondary STEM teaching certification while earning degrees in physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, engineering, or mathematics.

Dedicated Master Teachers
UTeach master teachers—non-tenured clinical faculty with exemplary secondary teaching experience—are exclusively dedicated to teaching, student support, and program success. Rigorous, Research-Based Instruction UTeach courses are designed to develop deep understanding of content of particular importance to future secondary STEM teachers and build strong connections between mathematics and science and between educational theory and practice. Early and Intensive Field Experiences In order to promote confidence and accelerate professional development, UTeach students begin a carefully scaffolded sequence of intensive teaching opportunities in their first semester of the program and continue these field experiences throughout. Continuous Program Improvement UTeach systematically collects and analyzes both student- and program-level data to make informed decisions about program development and improvement. Active Student Recruitment and Support UTeach actively recruits to attract the greatest possible number of STEM majors and provides significant resources and encouragement to maximize program and career retention. |
