Expansion of the National Math and Science Initiative’s UTeach Program: The National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI) will announce, in a partnership that brings together companies, foundations (e.g., Texas Instruments Foundation), states (e.g., Tennessee) and federal agencies, a major expansion of the "UTeach" program that will prepare more than 4,500 undergraduates in STEM subjects to be new math and science teachers by 2015, and 7,000 by 2018—a commitment that promises to improve the education of more than 1 million students by 2017 and more than 20 million during the course of these new teachers’ careers. The UTeach program produces teachers with deep content expertise, by enabling science and math undergraduates to concurrently receive a teaching certificate. Ninety-two percent of UTeach graduates become teachers, and eighty-two percent are still in the classroom after five years.  With investment in excess of $13.5 million by the partners, NMSI will expand to 20 university campuses from its current 14, with three additional campuses soon to follow.  With funding from the Carnegie Corporation and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, NMSI will also launch a teacher alumni network to increase the impact of the program.

Public University Presidents Commit to Train 10,000 Math and Science Teachers Annually by 2015: In a letter to President Obama, the presidents of more than 75 major public universities are committing to collectively prepare 10,000 science and math teachers annually by 2015.  This is a significant increase from the 7,500 teachers that are currently trained by the universities that participate in the Science and Mathematics Teacher Imperative, an initiative led by the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. University leaders will assess and scale programs that have a strong track record of success, innovate to create new preparation models, ensure that teaching is valued as a career option, and work closely with states to address teacher shortages.

The PBS Innovative Educators Challenge: PBS and its 356 partner stations, in collaboration with the National Science Teachers Association, will launch a multi-year STEM initiative to dramatically expand the PBS teacher community, provide a platform for sharing effective teaching practices, and inspire the next generation of teacher-leaders.  PBS will sponsor an annual competition called the “Innovative Educators Challenge” to highlight 50 outstanding teachers each year.  These teachers will be provided support to be leaders in their communities, as well as have their methods of instruction collected as part of a public media repository—the  Digital Learning Library—to create a platform for sharing of effective practice.

Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowships in Math and Science: The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation will announce a major expansion of its program, which provides future math and science teachers with a Master’s degree in education and places them in difficult-to-staff middle and high school, using a model very similar to Teaching Residency Programs. With the support of the Governors in each state and more than $40 million in funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Lilly Endowment, the State of Indiana, the State of Ohio, and Ohio Foundations, this program will train 120 math and science teachers per year in Michigan and 700 over the next three years in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.  These teachers will improve math and science achievement of an estimated 87,500 students every year.

NASA’s “Summer of Innovation” Enrichment Program: NASA, in partnership with companies, non-profits, and states, will launch a pilot program to substantially enhance STEM learning opportunities for students during the summer, with an emphasis on broadening participation of underrepresented groups. Through competitive grants to states, NASA will use its substantial STEM assets – including the more than 11,000 NASA scientists and engineers – to create multi-week summer learning programs (a blend of classroom time, camp programs, internships, and mentoring), that will help thousands of teachers and students in the first year.  The program will culminate in a national event, in partnership with other departments and agencies.
