Teacher Education

HEMS is dedicated to improving teacher quality, increasing teacher recruitment and retention, and enhancing education through technology. In recent years, HEMS has helped six states improve their teaching forces through the U. S. Department of Education’s Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology (PT3).

Since 1999, PT3 has awarded $400 million in grants to over 400 education partnerships to transform teacher education. By integrating technology in pre-service programs, PT3 seeks to ensure that new teachers can teach effectively in new learning environments to increase student learning. Awards typically average $350,000-$600,000 per year for three years. Below are selections from our portfolio of work in this area.
