UT Teacher Training Program Turns Out Top EducatorsNow in its tenth year, UTeach, the unique and successful teacher training program at the University of Texas, has caught the eye of education experts and other colleges and universities across the country. According to a report in the Austin American-Statesman, 10 unspecified institutions will announce the implementation of similar programs this month, using part of a $125 million grant from Exxon Mobile Corp. UTeach, which has doubled the number of math and science teachers it produces since its inception, takes an alternative approach to teacher training, producing science and math majors with teacher certification as opposed to education majors with a focus on a specific subject area. The model was hailed in a 2005 report by the National Academies Press and has proven successful as about 70 percent of UTeach students are still teaching five years after they enter the profession compared with about 50 percent of teachers nationally.
