    2017 UTEACH UTeach at 20 Celebrating success and envisioning the future We prepare teachers. They change the world. UTeach expands access to STEM education and improves STEM learning outcomes for all students by supporting a national network of universities and STEM educators committed to increasing the number of high-quality teachers and expanding access to inquiry-based curriculum. 20 years of innovation Since 1997, UTeach at The University of Texas at Austin has offered a unique pathway for STEM majors to earn their secondary teaching certification without adding additional time or cost to their degree. This innovative solution allows UTeach to produce secondary teachers with deep content knowledge and inquiry-based pedagogical strategies. Forty-five other universities in the U.S. have adopted the UTeach model since 2008. Together, we have produced 3,272 graduates. UTeach programs produce teachers at a lower cost than other leading programs, and our graduates stay in teaching longer, improve student performance in math and science, and influence students to enter STEM fields. The next 20 years We envision a future where every student develops an appreciation for the critical role that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics play in our everyday lives and in driving future progress and solving human problems. We envision a future where scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists reflect the diversity of the United States, where STEM fields welcome everyone regardless of background or circumstance, and where all students can see themselves reflected in the larger STEM community. We envision a future where all students have teachers who can spark inspiration and help them develop a passion for STEM subjects.

  • Uteach National Expansion 2020 SPRING
    UTeach National Expansion 2020 SPRING UTeach answers the challenge for universities to train more science, mathematics, computer science, and engineering teachers by enabling students studying these disciplines to earn teaching credentials without additional time or cost beyond their degrees. A unique collaboration among colleges of science, education, and liberal arts, UTeach prepares teachers with deep content knowledge and proficiency with pedagogical strategies that promote student mastery of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) principles and concepts.

  • Project South Texas Academic Program Working Groups Final Report Uteach Working Group Co-Chairs Roger Contreras (UTB), Kristine
    Project South Texas Academic Program Working Groups Final Report January 31, 2014 Working Group Name UTeach Working Group Co-Chairs Roger Contreras (UTB), Kristine Lowe (UTPA) Working Group Members James Curts (UTPA), Reynaldo Ramirez (UTB), Timothy Sears (UTPA), Gustavo Valencia (UTB) Executive Summary The UTeach program at The University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA) and The University of Texas at Brownsville (UTB) is an excellent avenue toward success in achieving the goals of improving education in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) of Texas. UTeach trains high quality STEM teachers who could train current educators in subjects they are assigned to teach. The program addresses the need for high-quality educators and provides UTeach students a secondary teacher career option in addition to their respective degrees in mathematics or science. In addition, these well-trained STEM teachers will have a great effect on student performance in secondary schools across the LRGV and the state. UTB and UTPA are working together not only to fulfill the goals of the program, but also to help develop a better future for residents of the RGV. UTPA and UTB are two of seven universities in the State of Texas replicating the UTeach model developed at The University of Texas at Austin in 1997. The UTeach Institute was established in 2006 in response to national concerns about the quality of K-12 education in the STEM fields. Since 2006, the UTeach Institute has supported the replication of UTeach at 35 Universities across the United States and has led efforts towards continuous improvement of the UTeach Model.

  • Chronicling the Success of Uteach
    Chronicling the Success of UTeach 2011 Annual Report: Transforming the System. Changing the Culture. In the national movement to better prepare students to achieve academic success, more emphasis is being placed on equipping students with the problem-solving and analytical skills most often associated with STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. As a result, the need for more math and science teachers is on the rise. In fact, some analysts say that the U.S. will need 200,000 more math and science teachers by 2015 in order to meet ongoing education demands. They also say that the pool of math and science teachers with strong content knowledge is on the decline. UTeach was created at the University of Texas at Austin in 1997 to respond to national concerns about the quality of K-12 STEM education. The program's premise is to recruit the brightest science, math and computer science majors into secondary teaching careers. It also prepares students through an advanced field-intensive curriculum and promotes retention through support and ongoing professional development. Helios Education Foundation invested $3 million into the UTeach initiative in 2007 at the University of Florida, Northern Arizona University and Florida State University, providing a $1 million match at each school to help establish each program. Since then, all three programs have successfully recruited, taught and graduated math and science students. "We started with two master teachers and a handful of students," said Tom Dana, Associate Dean, Academic Affairs, College of Education at the University of Florida. "Now we have four master teachers and 177 students enrolled in various coursework," he added.

  • Taking the Lead Expanding Multidisciplinary Research and Tech Commercialization Talented Students Matched with Exceptional Researchers
    The magazine for the College of Science and Technology Outlook FALL 2011 Taking the Lead Expanding multidisciplinary research and tech commercialization Talented students matched with exceptional researchers. Advanced theory matched to hands-on experience. Your contribution matched by our commitment. The Undergraduate Research Program offers CST students the opportunity to work alongside Temple’s most experienced researchers. But many URP students have to work at jobs off campus, and that means less time in the lab working on today’s most difficult challenges. Your gift to URP will provide students with hourly stipends for lab work. CST will then match your financial contribution—on a one-to-one basis— so that your gift will go twice as far. Together, we can help URP students spend more time in the lab, earn money for living expenses and learn what it takes to excel in advanced research before they graduate. To make a gift to the Undergraduate Research Program, use the enclosed envelope or go to myowlspace.com/giving.

  • In Touch with Tuteach, June 2014
    In Touch With TUteach, June 2014 2014 TUteach Graduates Set High Standards. The TUteach class of 2014 maintained a tradition of academic excellence, and includes honors graduate Nicole Guynn, B.S., Biology with Teaching, and inorganic chemistry award winner Nicole Dunn, B.S. Chemistry with Teaching. The 18 future math and science teachers of the Class of 2014 also distinguish themselves through their dedication to careers in education. Tran Vo, a Mathematics with Teaching graduate, exemplified this excellence and dedication during her apprentice teaching at Philadelphia High School for Girls. The students in Tran’s classes earned top scores in school- wide tests. This year also saw TUteach’s first Physics with Teaching graduates, Colette Weaver, in February, and Calvin Wang, Noyce Scholar, in May. Colette and Calvin are seeking Physics teaching positions, an area of critical need regionally and nationally. TUteach Class of 2014, May 2014, mostly: Left—Front: Roshni Patel, Kim Pohl (Feb.), Rear: Eugene Levitsky, Donna Griffis, Former TUteach Co-Director Linda Jones, Nicole Guynn, Lisa Hansen, Alex Rotzal, and Tran Vo.

In 2013-14, TUteach set a record for enrollment in its introductory course, “Step-1.” Combining fall and spring semesters, 89 students registered for Step-1, exceeding the old record of 71 by 25%. In Fall, 2014, direct admission of TUteach majors will accelerate the enrollment growth experienced since the program started; for the first time ever, incoming freshman and transfer students are now able to declare a TUteach major when they apply.
