Abstract

Calls for recruitment and retention into teaching remain at all-time highs in math and science. Response initiatives may include alternative routes to licensure (ARL), streamlined curricula, financial incentives for participants, and intensive on-the-job training. While ARLs offer potential for innovation, challenges also exist when trying to maintain preparation quality and integrity. This project presents end-of-program findings from a five-year investigation into the factors that contribute to quality teacher preparation within an ARL framework. Summative outcomes document program dimensions where research-intensive preparation goals align with priorities for increasing the pool of future teachers. The roles of teacher mentors, curriculum impact, and classroom-based practica are highlighted.
