Arizona Teacher Institute
The University of Arizona (UA) and Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) partnership develops and implements a vertically integrated, nationally replicable Arizona Teacher Institute offering a Master's Degree in Middle School Mathematics Leadership for middle school teachers; a Certificate in Mathematics Teacher Mentoring for secondary-certified teachers; and a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Teacher Preparation for recent mathematics Ph.D.'s.In addition to teachers directly engaged, the project has long-term impact by establishing a permanent degree program serving regional and national audiences through distance learning. The Institute is designed so that, in addition to producing middle school teacher leaders, it trains secondary-certified teachers and postdoctoral faculty serving as instructors for distance versions of the courses in the Master's program, and eventually for future local versions of the Teacher Institute.
