UTeach Impact We prepare teachers. They change the world. 2017 Sept

A strong STEM-capable workforce is critical to U.S. innovation and economic prosperity, but we are falling behind in UTeach is an innovative university- production of STEM professionals. We need at least 1 million based teacher preparation program more STEM professionals over the next decade—34% more than working to increase the number we are currently producing. Additionally, women and minorities of qualified STEM teachers in continue to be underrepresented in the pool of STEM graduates. U.S. secondary schools. STEM UTeach has the solution. UTeach prepares teachers with deep majors earn a secondary teaching content knowledge and inquiry-based pedagogical strategies. certification without adding time or UTeach programs produce teachers at a lower cost than other cost to their four-year degree. leading programs, and our graduates stay in teaching longer, improve student performance in math and science, and influence students to enter STEM fields.

You engaged us and made us actually look at how things worked and why they worked, not only in problems, but also in practical applications. You really changed my love of science into an understanding of what I want to do for a living. Student of a UTeach teacher from The University of at Austin
