SFA's STEM Research and Learning Center is proud to announce the Talented Teachers in Training for Texas (T4) program funded by the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program of the National Science Foundation.
The goals of this program are two-fold:
(1) to increase STEM teaching capacity, and
(2) to study the development of a research-based model for strengthening the STEM teacher pipeline that will provide support for STEM teachers, regardless of the remoteness of their location.
The T4 program is a partnership between SFA, Angelina College, and the Region 7 Education Service Center providing opportunities for interested students to learn more about STEM teaching careers. The first group of 15 recruits was chosen in Spring 2012. In addition, up to 40 recruits will be chosen in Spring 2013 and 40 in Spring 2014. Nine scholars were chosen for Fall 2012 with an additional 11 to be chosed in Fall 2013 or 2014.
