Indicate when students are formally admitted into your initial teacher certification program: Sophomore year

Does your initial teacher certification program conditionally admit students? No

Please provide any additional about or exceptions to the admissions information provided above:

Typically UT Martin Education majors are ready for admission to the Professional Teacher Education program by the second semester of their sophomore year. While a content area GPA is not required for admission to the program, it is a requirement for being recommended for licensure. We find that if students have obtained the 2.75 cumulative GPA then they also have a 2.75 GPA or higher in their content area and professional education coursework.

Section I.b Program Enrollment Provide the number of students in the teacher preparation program in the following categories. Note that you must report on the number of students by ethnicity and race separately. Individuals who are non-Hispanic/Latino will be reported in one of the race categories.

Section II. Annual Goals Each institution of higher education (IHE) that conducts a traditional teacher preparation program (including programs that offer any ongoing professional development programs) or alternative routes to state certification or licensure program, and that enrolls students receiving Federal assistance under this Act, shall set annual quantifiable goals for increasing the number of prospective teachers trained in teacher shortage areas designated by the Secretary or by the state educational agency, including mathematics, science, special education, and instruction of limited English proficient students. IHEs that do not have a teacher preparation program in one or more of the areas listed below can enter NA for the area(s) in which the IHE does not have that program.

Teacher shortage area Goal for increasing prospective teachers trained

Mathematics Academic year: 2009-10

Goal: 5% increase

Goal met? Yes

Description of strategies used to achieve goal:

There has been increased collaboration as faculty from Educational Studies and Mathematics have worked collaboratively on licensure issues, specifically reviewing middle school and secondary math standards, as well as jointly applying for STEM grants offered by the state and NSF grants which would offer tuition support for middle school and secondary education math licensure candidates.

Description of steps to improve performance in meeting goal or lessons learned in meeting goal:

Collaboration and communication are key in improving visibility of licensure and recruitment of qualified candidates. Forging relationships across colleges and disciplines among faculty takes time and effort.

Science Academic year: 2009-10

Goal: 5% increase

Goal met? Yes


There has been increased collaboration as faculty from Educational Studies and Sciences have worked collaboratively on licensure issues, specifically reviewing middle school and secondary science standards, as well as jointly applying for STEM grants offered by the state and NSF grants which would offer tuition support for middle school and secondary education science licensure candidates.


Collaboration and communication are key in improving visibility of licensure and recruitment of qualified candidates. Forging relationships across colleges and disciplines among faculty takes time and effort. Principals continue to express a need for highly qualified teachers for middle and secondary science, specifically in chemistry and physics. If the NSF grant proposal submitted is funded, it will respond to some of these needs.

Special education Academic year: 2009-10

Goal: 5% increase

Goal met? Yes


The University obtained funding from the Tennessee Department of Education for a proposal to provide tuition assistance to students pursuing special education licensure. The contract was approved by all parties in 2010 and students will be recruited and enrolled effective 2011. The grant, BASE-TN (Becoming A Special Educator in Tennessee), will provide tuition support for 10-12 special education candidates per semester.


After the grant contract was approved, recruitment of eligible candidates became the focus. It has been challenging to identify and recruit candidates

into special education licensure, but press releases, television newscasts, a web site and brochure have been utilized.

Section II. Assurances Please indicate whether your institution is in compliance with the following assurances.

Training provided to prospective teachers responds to the identified needs of the local educational agencies or States where the institutions graduates are likely to teach, based on past hiring and recruitment trends. Yes

Training provided to prospective teachers is closely linked with the needs of schools and the instructional decisions new teachers face in the classroom. Yes

Prospective special education teachers receive coursework in core academic subjects and receive training in providing instruction in core academic subjects. Yes

General education teachers receive training in providing instruction to children with disabilities. Yes

General education teachers receive training in providing instruction to limited English proficient students. Yes

General education teachers receive training in providing instruction to children from low-income families. Yes

Prospective teachers receive training on how to effectively teach in urban and rural schools, as applicable. Yes

Describe your institutions most successful strategies in meeting the assurances listed above:

UT Martin works closely with the area school districts to ensure that we are providing teacher education candidates with the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful employees in any school system. In the undergraduate program Teacher Education 302/305 and in the graduate program Teacher Education 780/705 all contain early field experiences. Students see the day-to-day operations of the classroom. These classes cover a vast array of topics dealing with teaching and learning styles, planning for teaching, and dealing with students from a variety of backgrounds including ethnicity, race, and socioeconomic. It also covers effective teaching methods for working in rural and urban school settings. One of the activities performed is the Poverty Simulation Project. Students are given both a pre and post survey regarding his/her perception of poverty. Participants are then put into groups to become a "family." Families are given directives as to their family dynamics to include background, name, and income. The experience simulates what life in poverty is like. It is a real eye opener for many of our students.

Students are provided an overview for working with limited English proficient students. This is covered in the differentiated instruction plan that is an assignment in the course.

Other classes that build on the initial experiences students receive are Teacher Education 450/650 and Teacher Education 340/731. These classes in particular contain service learning activities. Many of our local school systems are very diverse in the areas of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.

All education majors in the unit receive training in working with special needs students. All areas are covered in Special Education 300/500, a survey class of the field of special education.

A learning module focused on Response to Intervention (RTI) has been added to READ 438, the elementary reading methods course. Typically, reading disabilities are identified by teachers in grades prek-6. All candidates seeking licensure in Prek-6th grade enroll in READ 438. Since RTI is mandated for reading in Tennessee, a learning module that included instruction, video, and

reflection is now included in delivery of READ 438 to better equip all teacher candidates to understand their role and function in RTI.
