Mathematics Teacher Education Partnership
The Mathematics Teacher Education Partnership (MTE-Partnership) is working to address the significant national shortage of well-prepared secondary mathematics teachers through a coordinated research, development, and implementation effort. The partnership takes a comprehensive approach to tackling this challenge, convening community colleges, universities, and university systems, as well as K-12 schools, state departments of education, and other education-focused organizations.
The MTE-Partnership is comprised of over 40 secondary mathematics teacher preparation programs across the country – working collaboratively to redesign secondary mathematics teacher preparation programs based on its Updated Guiding Principles for Secondary Mathematics Teacher Preparation and the Standards for Preparing Teachers of Mathematics created by the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators
Using the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching’s Networked Improvement Community model, the MTE-Partnership is organized into Research Action Clusters (RACs) that work to address challenges in transforming secondary mathematics teacher preparation.
The MTE-Partnership organized a second phase entitled “MTEP 2.0” in 2020. The focus of this new, reorganized network is a shift in focus to using the Networked Improvement Community design at the local level to support program transformation, while continuing to promote collaboration across programs to accelerate their improvement efforts.
MTEP 2.0 launched in October 2020 with 19 partnership teams encompassing 43 secondary mathematics teacher preparation programs across 17 states. More information about the MTEP 2.0 members, as well as how to join the new network, can be found on our OpenCanvas site, which you can join at www.mtep.info/join
Iowa currently has one state team at Iowa State.
