  5. Processes • Intensive & Accelerated, 1 year • Teach to Inquire to Learn to Teach - an embedded Fellowship with Mentors and learners • Research-based Mentor preparation • Re-aligned, synergistic course preparation for Fellows • Extensive, strategic field work and applied action research • STEM context & modified course work • New delivery mechanisms • Immersion in to a professional community of learners • Evaluation informs program innovation & redesign

  6. Outcomes • Do No Harm: • Add value, enrich pupil learning, support the school’s & Mentor’s missions • For Fellows - top level new teacher preparation • Continued professional teacher development for all • PRAXIS II PLT success • University program revision • Strong professionals added to the pipeline with a history of successes
