SMCM teacher preparation program
We have designed a pathway for you to become a highly-qualified teacher. If you choose this path, you'll major in a relevant field (you choice for elementary education) with a minor in educational studies. After that, you will complete the MAT. Along the way, you'll be advised by experts, including a professor in educational studies. You will complete the program with an MAT and eligible for a Standard Professional Certificate with a Master's pay grade.

This activity draws on materials from Get the Facts Out, an NSF-funded partnership between the Colorado School of Mines, the American Physical Society, the American Chemical Society, the American Association of Physics Teachers, and the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators.
Josh Grossman put together this particular version. It also uses modifications and data gathered by Angela Johnson (SMCM), along with some text and modifications by Sarah Formica (UNG).
