The Teacher Education Alliance, Mines-UNC Partnership (TEAM-UP): Evolution and activities

To help battle the shortage of highly qualified science and math teachers, Colorado School of Mines and University of Northern Colorado have recently created a unique partnership that plays on each institution's strengths to produce highly qualified STEM teachers. Mines prepares students with a strong understanding of STEM subjects, and UNC provides the coursework in education and pedagogy necessary to become a secondary science or mathematics teacher in Colorado. TEAM-UP began enrolling students in the fall semester of 2015, with additional students adding each semester. In this poster, we will describe: the evolution of TEAM-UP and the grant activity that has supported the program and our students.
