Compact and Flexible Degree Plans 5. Active Student Recruitment and Support 6. Dedicated Master Teachers 7. Rigorous, Research-Based Instruction 8. Early and Intensive Field Experiences 9. Continuous Program Improvement

15. What is UTeach Replication? What is meant by replication? Replacing the existing undergraduate secondary math and science teacher preparation program with the UTeach program. Structured Approach Implementation Implementation over 4.5 years, beginning with a comprehensive Planning Period (Spring and Summer 2014), followed by four academic years of program implementation. Universities begin offering UTeach courses in Fall 2014 with graduates expected during the 2017 – 18 academic year. How much room is there for adapting the model? Programs should be implemented in alignment to UTeach model All program elements of success should be implemented, with appropriate variation, given local and state context
