The Oklahoma Teacher Education Collaborative (O-TEC), a consortium composed of K-12 schools, two-year, and four-year institutions from across the state, proposes a program that addresses concerns in the teacher preparation system from recruitment, through pre-service training, into early years of teaching. A series of Summer Academies, in which potential teachers work under the direction of classroom teachers to present model lessons in science and mathematics, will recruit talented youth and particularly focus on underserved populations. Entry points at two-year institutions of higher education will be strengthened by development of appropriate courses and formulation of a curriculum for para-teachers. O-TEC institutions will revise their general education courses in science and mathematics to meet the needs of pre-service teachers. Engineering faculty will also participate in development of general education offerings appropriate for teachers. Instruction in professional education will have a field orientation and use cooperating teachers who are confident and accomplished in hands-on methods. To address retention and professional growth during early years of teaching, O-TEC will train experienced teachers and building administrators to provide support in science and mathematics teaching through state entry-year committees. A summer in-service program will bring new teachers together after their first year to share experiences and respond to concerns about content and pedagogy. O-TEC will sponsor sessions for entry-year teachers at meetings of the Oklahoma science (OSTA) and mathematics (OCTM) associations to encourage professional participation. O-TEC institutions will also provide consulting for entry-year teachers who experience difficulty and will provide equipment load to new teachers. Use of technology will be a component of all activities, and several modes of evaluation will provide feedback for guidance.

俄克拉荷马州教师教育合作伙伴（O-TEC）是由全州的K-12学校，两年和四年制机构组成的财团，提出了一项计划，以解决从招聘到服务前培训的教师准备系统的关注，直到早期的教学。 一系列的夏季学院，潜在的教师在课堂老师的指导下工作，以介绍科学和数学的模型课程，将招募有才华的青年，尤其是专注于服务不足的人群。 通过开发适当的课程和为帕拉教师的课程制定，将加强两年的高等教育机构的入学点。 O-TEC机构将修改其在科学和数学方面的通识教育课程，以满足职前教师的需求。 工程教师还将参与适合教师的普通教育产品的发展。 专业教育的指导将具有领域的导向，并使用具有动手方法的自信和成就的合作教师。 为了解决早期教学期间的保留和专业增长，O-TEC将培训经验丰富的教师和建筑管理人员，以通过州入学年份委员会提供科学和数学教学的支持。 夏季在职计划将在第一年之后将新老师聚集在一起，以分享经验并应对内容和教学法的担忧。 O-TEC将在俄克拉荷马州科学（OSTA）和数学协会（OCTM）协会的会议上赞助入学教师会议，以鼓励专业参与。 O-TEC机构还将为遇到困难的入学教师提供咨询服务，并将为新教师提供设备负担。 技术的使用将是所有活动的组成部分，多种评估方式将为指导提供反馈。
