About OSUTeach
OSUTeach is the first and only UTeach program in Oklahoma.
In February 2014, the National Math and Science Initiative and the Howard Hughes Medical
Institute announced that OSU had been selected as an implementation partner for UTeach.
This highly-successful program was created to attract a wide range of bright science
and mathematics majors into secondary teaching careers, to prepare them through an
advanced field-intensive curriculum, and to promote professional retention through
induction support and ongoing professional development.
Our Core Elements
The program is a collaboration between the College of Education, Health and Aviation
and College of Arts Sciences. Core elements of the program include recruitment and
retention incentives, a compact degree program, a strong focus on research-based strategies
for teaching and learning mathematics and science, intensive field teaching experience,
and personal guidance from master teachers and faculty.
Why OSUTeach
Curriculum
OSUTeach was created to attract a wide range of bright science and mathematics majors into secondary teaching careers, preparing them through:
- an advanced, field-intensive curriculum
- career induction support
- ongoing professional development.
Clear Results
Research shows that a high percentage of program graduates enter the teaching profession and five years later most of them are still teaching in schools.
Unique Offerings
OSUTeach students begin by taking SMED 1012 Inquiry Approaches to Teaching, a two hour recruitment course offered in both the Spring and Fall semesters. This course allows students to try out teaching mathematics or science with no obligation to continue the program.
