PROJECT INFORMATION
| The critical need for science teachers across our region, state and country is abundantly clear, by many measures. The Copernicus Project is centered in early identification of future science teachers, systematic recruitment from a diverse pool of candidates, high quality and focused teacher preparation beginning at the community college level, and sustained, mentored support of new and veteran teachers through ongoing professional development. Copernicus project partners cover a broad spectrum of education leaders, K-12 teachers, institutions of higher education, parents and the business community. The project's goals reflect what research underscores: that the single most important element in the academic achievement of students is the quality of their teachers. |
