| dbo:abstract | The UTeach Institute is a nonprofit organization created in 2006 in response to growing concerns about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the United States and interest in the secondary STEM teacher certification program, UTeach, started in 1997 at The University of Texas at Austin. The UTeach Institute issued its first request for proposals to replicate UTeach in 2007. An initial cohort of 13 universities was selected to receive individual grants of up to $1.4 million each to replicate the program over a four-year implementation period from 2008 to 2012. A second cohort of 8 universities was selected for a 2010-2014 grant cycle, and a third cohort of universities is expected to begin implementation in Spring 2012. As of February 2011, excluding the original UTeach program at The University of Texas at Austin, 4,190 students currently were enrolled in UTeach programs at 21 universities across the country. The UTeach Institute acts as the liaison between the original UTeach program at The University of Texas at Austin and individuals implementing the program on other university campuses. The Institute provides detailed technical assistance and support and hosts an annual conference in Austin, Texas focusing on issues of STEM teacher preparation, national and state STEM education policy, the UTeach program model, and UTeach replication. In addition to assisting the universities implementing UTeach, the UTeach Institute conducts ongoing evaluations of progress and fulfills reporting requirements to various funders. UTeach has been a model for mathematics and science education programs at other institutions, and has been expanded to involve an additional forty-four universities in twenty-one states by 2019. 2008-2012 (cohort 1)Florida State UniversityLouisiana State UniversityNorthern Arizona UniversityTemple UniversityUniversity of California, BerkeleyUniversity of California, IrvineUniversity of Colorado BoulderUniversity of FloridaUniversity of HoustonUniversity of KansasUniversity of North TexasUniversity of Texas, DallasWestern Kentucky University2010-2014 (cohort 2)Cleveland State UniversityMiddle Tennessee State UniversityUniversity of Colorado Colorado SpringsUniversity of MemphisUniversity of Tennessee, ChattanoogaUniversity of Tennessee, KnoxvilleUniversity of Texas, ArlingtonUniversity of Texas at Tyler2011-2015 (cohort 3)Columbus State UniversitySouthern Polytechnic State UniversityUniversity of Massachusetts, LowellUniversity of West Georgia2012-2016 (cohort 4)Boise State UniversityFlorida Institute of TechnologyTowson UniversityUniversity of Arkansas at FayettevilleUniversity of Arkansas at Little RockUniversity of Central ArkansasUniversity of Texas at BrownsvilleUniversity of Texas, Pan American2013-2018 (cohort 5)Drexel UniversityFlorida International UniversityUniversity of Maryland, College ParkOklahoma State UniversityOld Dominion UniversityUniversity of Alabama, Birmingham2015-2019 (cohort 6)George Washington UniversityLouisiana Tech UniversityUniversity of Massachusetts, BostonUniversity of Nevada, RenoWest Virginia University 2016–2020 (cohort 7) University of Texas at San AntonioMorehead State University 2017–2021 (cohort 8) Central Washington University The UTeach Institute partners with corporations, foundations, states, and private donors to fund UTeach replication.
