The Mathematics, Science and Technology Teacher Preparation Program |
Texas Higher Education Coord. Board |
Drs. Reynaldo Ramirez, Jr., Eli E. Pena, Phil Dukes |
The purpose of the grant is to address one of the 5 priorities of the Coordinating Board’s College Readiness Initiative: To promote effective public and higher education teaching. The proposed program will address this priority by increasing the percentage of teachers who have advanced training in science and technology and by creating learning communities of these teachers so they can continue to expand their expertise in teaching and learning. The immediate outcome of the Center’s program will be increased numbers of Master Teachers and Master’s of Education in the field of science in districts that are low performing. The long-term outcome will be increased percentages of students who are college ready when they complete high school.
