The program brings together 12 undergraduate students (middle) from across the country in order to develop their knowledge and skill in teaching high school science. A major goal of the program is support undergraduate science majors at small liberal arts college towards a career in teaching science. In order to accomplish this goal, the NSF-TEU students, who are all majoring in one science discipline, take a science pedagogy course with Dr. Kurt Love (far left) and will participate in a summer teaching practicum under the supervision of experienced local teachers from the Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy (HMTCA) in Hartford, Connecticut.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, June 13, the NSF-TEU students took a lunch break to learn\u00a0and\u00a0ask questions about school choice from Trinity College Professor Jack Dougherty (far right) who researches this topic and has documented it on the <a href=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/cssp\/\">Cities, Suburbs, and School Project<\/a> site. Director of Urban Educational Initiatives also shared some points from his report, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctvoices.org\/publications\/choice-watch-diversity-and-access-connecticuts-school-choice-programs\">&#8220;Choice Watch&#8221;<\/a>, published with CT Voices for Children. The talk was meant to introduce\u00a0the NSF-TEU participants to the local educational context, specifically the Sheff v. O&#8217;Neill case that resulted in more than 40 interdistrict magnet schools in the Hartford region, including HMTCA.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the NSF-TEU participants and Professor Love and thanks to Professor Dougherty for the visit!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Science Foundation &#8211; Teaching Experiences for Undergraduates kicked off last Monday, June 6, 2016 at Trinity College.
