With over 90% of participating teachers remaining in their profession for at least three years after participation, this innovative project offers teachers a combination of paid summer work experience in Arizona businesses and intensive coursework, leading to either professional development credit or a master’s degree. At the same time, it aims to retain excellent teachers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
UA College of Education, under the guidance of PI Bruce Johnson and project director Javier Lopez, partners with Tucson Values Teachers, industry partners, and Arizona school districts to provide a model of how these community members can successfully work together toward quality education for our children and youth.
