The UTeaChattanooga program is looking for teachers currently working in K-12 classrooms who are willing to share their expertise and experience by having UTeaChattanooga undergraduates assist in their classrooms. UTeaChattanooga undergraduates are math or science majors who are interested in exploring the possibility of pursuing a math or science teaching career.
Who are Mentor Teachers?
Throughout the UTeaChattanooga program, most of the professional development courses require the placement of our students in an active classroom with excellent, experienced teachers. In the first two courses, Step 1 and Step 2, this experience is intended not only to provide the students with practical teaching experience, but also the opportunity to evaluate the teaching profession. Step 1 students are placed in elementary school classrooms, Step 2 students are placed in middle school classrooms, and students in later courses in the program are placed in high school classrooms.
