Professional Development Pathways
Three pathways have been developed to educate in-service and
pre-service teachers in engineering content and pedagogy.
These pathways are:
- UTeach Master of Arts in Science and Engineering
Education (MASEE). This program for in-service
teachers will parallel the existing UTeach Master of
Arts in Science and Mathematics Education, with which it
will share several courses.
- Engineering Summer Institutes for Teachers (ESIT).
This program will leverage MASEE content to offer a
summer professional development opportunity to teachers
who, while not pursuing a graduate degree, are
nonetheless interested in becoming leaders in secondary
engineering education.
- UTeachEngineering Teacher Preparation Program for
Undergaduates. The new UTeachEngineering program for
undergraduates builds on the successful UTeach Natural
Sciences program to develop two pathways to certify
pre-service teachers in secondary engineering education.
Both pathways will lead students in Natural Sciences and
Engineering to dual certification.
Anticipated Number of Teachers Impacted
The three pathways of this program will deliver diverse
professional development opportunities to a variety of
in-service and pre-service teachers from across the state.
As shown in the table below, the program will reach 650
teachers statewide over the five-year grant period.
The project will impact 570 in-service teachers and
80 pre-service teachers in five years.
