Students Served Through Your Investment
The UTeach Dallas formula for students served assumes that each year, a secondary teacher will reach approximately 150 students (that’s a typical five-period per day with a class size of 30 students each). Each year, we add every UTeach grad, adjusting for the fact that over 75% of our grads end up for over 5 years in the classroom.
Students Served by UTeach Dallas Teachers
Recruiting STEM Majors
One of the hallmarks of the UTeach Dallas Program is active recruitment of STEM majors that may not have considered teaching as a career otherwise. Master teachers speak at freshman and transfer orientations and in intro STEM classes such as General Chemistry. Advertisements, including postcards, pamphlets, and social media assure that students know what the UTeach Dallas program has to offer. Last year 160 students tried out our introductory class, STEP 1. We also helped 32 UTeachers student teach, graduate and complete certification.
