University of Texas-Pan American: Reforming Teacher Preparation along the U. S. – Mexico Border

HEMS will evaluate the PT3 grant program at the University of Texas-Pan American. The primary goal of this project is to transform the teacher preparation program at the University into a 21st century learning environment to meet the diverse needs of a rapidly growing, high need community. To do this, the project has created an online learning community, electronic portfolio system, action research model, and learner-centered professional development that will enhance the means of true partnership among Rio Grande Valley school systems, inservice teachers, preservice teachers, and the faculty of the University of Texas-Pan American Colleges of Education and Arts and Sciences. This project has an emphasis on multi-lingual, multi-cultural education, given its location on the Texas-Mexico border. HEMS is the program evaluator.
