Abstract

Rural schools face unique challenges in recruiting well-trained STEM teachers for grades 6-12. Working with teacher education institutions, rural school districts can inform pathways to teacher licensure and therefore assist in crafting ones that better align to rural contexts. This chapter explores synergistic relationships among various STEM teacher pathways including graduate certificates in STEM education, the Robert Noyce scholarship program, licensure-only and lateral entry programs, and online vs. face-to-face teacher pathways. Institutional barriers to change in teacher education and ways of overcoming these challenges are also described.
