Our Purpose

The project entitled, Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation in Pennsylvania, represents a statewide initiative to join science, mathematics, and education faculty of 12 campuses with teams of public school teachers, community college faculty, university students and representatives of business and industry.

This project facilitates systemic change in Pennsylvania by:

• re-designing teacher preparation and mentoring
• developing new professional development opportunities for teachers
• increasing the variety of pre-college and outreach programs available to encourage students and mid-career change aspirants to go into the field of teaching science or mathematics.

The grant is designed to change college curricula to meet new state and national standards for mathematics and science educators, partner education faculty with scientists and mathematicians, enhance student teaching supervision, and establish permanent science and mathematics centers on 12 campuses to coordinate and implement the project.

This site is hosted by Indiana University of Pennsylvania - CETP-PA Project Office, and maintained by The CETP-PA Project Office.
