However, there are very few teacher education programs that focus specifically on preparing graduates to teach in project-based environments. This book is focused on the Uteach program, a STEM teacher education model that is being implemented across the USA in 46 universities. Originally focused only on mathematics and science, many UTeach programs are now offering engineering and computer science licensure programs as well. This book provides a forum to disseminate how different institutions have implemented the UTeach model in their local context. Topics discussed will include sustainability features of the model, and how program assessment, innovative instructional programming, classroom research and effectiveness research have contributed to its success. The objectives of the book are: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo help educators gain insight into a teacher education organizational model focused on STEM and how and why it was developed \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo present the theoretical underpinnings of a STEM education model, i.e. deep learning, conceptual understanding \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo present innovative instructional programming in teacher education, i.e. projectbased instruction, functions and modeling, research methods \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo present research and practice in classroom and field implementation and future research recommendations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo disseminate program assessments and improvement efforts \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSECTION I: THE UTEACH MODEL AND ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Development of the UTeach Model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplementing and Sustaining UTeach Programs: Lessons Learned from National Expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDerivatives of the Standard Model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe UTeach Internship Program: Serving the Community and Promoting STEM Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-Pollination in an Unusual Setting: The Success Story of UTeach Dallas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollaboration, Communication and Community: Transitioning from a Traditional Model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Many Facets of Induction Support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTeach Maker: Preparing Future STEM Educators for Classroom-Based Making\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaboratory Schools to Support the Preparation of UTeach Preservice Teachers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInnovative Shared Master Teacher Model: The University of Maryland and a Local School District\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAligning Field and Classroom Experiences for Secondary STEM Teacher Preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSECTION II: INNOVATIVE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMMING. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe UTeach Instructional Program, Elements, and Courses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTEM Teaching for Social Justice: Experiences in Early Fieldwork Courses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteps 1\/2 Combo: Summer Field Experiences on Campus and in the Community\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporating the Clinical Interview Method into the Knowing and Learning in Mathematics and Science Course\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassroom Interactions: Course Overview and description of an Innovative Co-Teaching Model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Tale of Two PBI Classes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Evidence Behind the UTeach Capstone Course: Does Project-Based Learning Work?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVCAST Learning Modules: A Functions \u0026amp; Modeling Course Innovation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBenefits of Liberal Arts Curriculum in STEM Teacher Preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSECTION III: RESEARCH AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloping the UTOP: A Flexible STEM Observation Instrument Based on UTeach Principles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloping an Assessment of Attentiveness for Program Evaluation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromoting Early Career Teacher Resilience Through a CalTeach Preparation Program\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamining UTeach Graduates’ Employment Choices: Outlining a Framework for Future Research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Do Intentions to Teach Relate to Recruitment and Retention of UTeach Program Candidates?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputational Thinking for STEM Teacher Leadership Training at Louisiana State University\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporating Project-Based Learning into the Secondary Mathematics and Science Classroom: Is it Pie in the Sky?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExploring the Effectiveness of FSU-Teach Graduates: An Analysis Through the Lens of Induction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamining Retention of UTeach Arlington Graduates in High Need Classrooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Information Age Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51585872200023,"sku":"9781648021671","price":87.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781648021671.jpg?v=1756489591","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/preparing-stem-teachers-the-uteach-replication-model-9781648021671","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
