Teacher Professional Continuum (TPC) Program
Teacher Professional Continuum (TPC)
Overview
Jointly managed by the Division of
Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education (ESIE) and the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE), the TPC program addresses critical issues and needs regarding the recruitment, preparation, induction, retention, and life-long development of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teachers for grades K-12. Its goals are to improve the quality and coherence of learning experiences for teachers across the continuum through research that informs teaching practice and the development of innovative resources for the professional development of K-12 STEM teachers. The program supports Research Studies, Resources for Professional Development, and Conferences and Symposia.
The TPC program succeeds ESIE's Teacher Enhancement (TE) program and DUE's Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Teacher Preparation (STEMTP) program.
