The State of Affairs: Impact and Implications of STEM Teacher Education at Two-Year Colleges

In November 2008, the National Science Foundation funded a meeting of a group of leaders from two-year colleges and STEM professional organization to discuss the state of STEM teacher preparation in the United States. The outcome of this meeting was a report, The State of Affairs: Impact and Implications of STEM Teacher Education at Two-Year Colleges. This report addresses current practices, challenges, and recommendations for future action related to STEM teacher preparation at two-year colleges.

We believe this publication will inform institutions wanting to initiate or enhance their STEM teacher preparation, and guide policy makers as they forge legislation to enhance STEM education in the U.S. Should you have questions about the report or the meeting, please contact Laurie Fathe (lafathe@aol.com) or Judy Kasabian (kasabian@elcamino.edu). We hope you find this publication of value, and look forward to learning of your work through NACCTEP conferences and publications.
