The goal of this project is to develop a comprehensive teacher preparation program at Amarillo College, with emphasis in mathematics and science, and formal articulation with schools of education at Texas universities. The objectives of the project are to: 1) develop the mathematics courses, refine the science curriculum, and update the general education curriculum for elementary education; 2) enhance the Amarillo College Teacher Education project through new Introductory Education courses, and by emphasizing hand on, collaborative learning pedagogy and the use of technology in the classroom; 3) develop and implement partnerships and articulation agreements with Texas Universities Schools of Education, beginning with West Texas A&M and Texas Tech Universities; and 4) increase the number of teachers well-prepared to teach the students of the Texas Panhandle at all pre-college levels, K-12. The objectives are being implemented through the newly formed Teacher Education Department in the Division of Sciences and Engineering. New mathematics and science courses incorporate real-world experiences and labs, and the use of technology in teaching and in science. Technology as a teaching tool is taught through the use of technology including Smart classrooms, interactive TV classrooms, computer lab assignments, and Internet ancillaries. Recruitment efforts are designed to attract women, minorities and those who are considering a career change. Industry partners enrich the teacher preparation program by involving scientists and technicians with instructional course development and onsite labs, hosting field trips, and offering internships. Collaborations with school districts provide mentor teachers for preservice students, field observations of K-8 classrooms, and tutoring opportunities.

该项目的目标是在阿马里洛学院制定全面的教师培训计划，重点是数学和科学，并与德克萨斯大学的教育学院正式衔接。该项目的目标是：1）开发数学课程，细化科学课程，更新基础教育的通识教育课程； 2) 通过新的入门教育课程，并强调实践、协作学习教学法和课堂技术的使用，加强阿马里洛学院的教师教育项目； 3) 与德克萨斯大学教育学院建立并实施合作伙伴关系和衔接协议，首先是西德克萨斯农工大学和德克萨斯理工大学； 4) 增加为德克萨斯州狭长地带所有大学预科（K-12）学生授课的教师数量。这些目标正在通过科学与工程系新成立的教师教育部门来实现。新的数学和科学课程结合了现实世界的经验和实验室，以及技术在教学和科学中的使用。技术作为一种教学工具，是通过使用智能教室、互动电视教室、计算机实验室作业和互联网辅助设备等技术来教授的。招聘工作旨在吸引女性、少数族裔和那些正在考虑改变职业的人。行业合作伙伴通过让科学家​​和技术人员参与教学课程开发和现场实验室、举办实地考察和提供实习机会来丰富教师培训计划。与学区的合作为职前学生提供指导教师、K-8 教室的实地观察以及辅导机会。
