The Honors College at Eastern Michigan University has obtained funding from the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program in the Division of Undergraduate Education, Directorate for Education and Human Resources, National Science Foundation to establish a new program called Developing Urban Education Teachers in STEM subjects (DUETSs). The Program will expand EMU’s impressive record of success in graduating and placing secondary teachers in Michigan schools. The general outcomes of the Program will be to (1) increase the number of secondary education STEM majors graduated and placed in high-need school districts, (2) increase the retention of new inservice secondary STEM teachers in high-need school districts and (3) increase secondary STEM teacher effectiveness in the classroom by pairing EMU’s successful Urban Education Program with its recently-established Creative Scientific Inquiry Experience (CSIE) program. Students will be encouraged to take advantage of CSIE course offerings prior to, or concurrent with, DUETSs program participation.
