NSFThe Master Program

The teacher education “bridge” program at Pellissippi State Technical Community College (PSTCC) is collaboration with Tennessee Technological University (TTU) and area K-12 schools. The goal of the project is to increase the number of K-12 teachers in middle and east Tennessee and their literacy in math and science. In addition, particular attention will be paid to recruiting and retaining minority pre-service teachers.

The specific objectives of this program will be encompassed in a Math and Science Teacher Education Resource Hub (“MASTER” Hub) at PSTCC. This Hub will become the central location for the other activities involved in this project such as science, math, and instructional technology courses and seminars that focus on the use of inquiry-based teaching and learning approaches.

In addition, the Master Hub will provide support services for pre-service teachers in the areas of mentoring teams, advising, and experiences for student development such as workshops, field trips, and teacher education organizations and conferences.
