The Oklahoma Teacher Education Collaborative (O-TEC), a consortium composed of K-12 schools, two-year, and four-year institutions from across the state, proposes a program that addresses concerns in the teacher preparation system from recruitment, through pre-service training, into early years of teaching. A series of Summer Academies, in which potential teachers work under the direction of classroom teachers to present model lessons in science and mathematics, will recruit talented youth and particularly focus on underserved populations. Entry points at two-year institutions of higher education will be strengthened by development of appropriate courses and formulation of a curriculum for para-teachers. O-TEC institutions will revise their general education courses in science and mathematics to meet the needs of pre-service teachers. Engineering faculty will also participate in development of general education offerings appropriate for teachers. Instruction in professional education will have a field orientation and use cooperating teachers who are confident and accomplished in hands-on methods. To address retention and professional growth during early years of teaching, O-TEC will train experienced teachers and building administrators to provide support in science and mathematics teaching through state entry-year committees. A summer in-service program will bring new teachers together after their first year to share experiences and respond to concerns about content and pedagogy. O-TEC will sponsor sessions for entry-year teachers at meetings of the Oklahoma science (OSTA) and mathematics (OCTM) associations to encourage professional participation. O-TEC institutions will also provide consulting for entry-year teachers who experience difficulty and will provide equipment load to new teachers. Use of technology will be a component of all activities, and several modes of evaluation will provide feedback for guidance.

俄克拉荷马州教师教育合作(O-TEC)是一个由来自全州的K-12学校、两年制和四年制机构组成的联盟，该组织提出了一项计划，旨在解决教师准备系统中的问题，从招聘到职前培训，再到教学的早期。一系列暑期学校，潜在教师在课堂教师的指导下工作，讲授科学和数学方面的示范课程，将招募有才华的青年，特别关注服务不足的人群。将通过为辅助教师开发适当的课程和制定课程来加强两年制高等教育机构的入门点。O-TEC院校将修订其科学和数学的通识教育课程，以满足职前教师的需要。工程学院还将参与开发适合教师的通识教育课程。专业教育的教学将以实地为导向，使用自信并在实践中完成的合作教师。为了解决教学初期的留任和专业成长问题，O-TEC将培训经验丰富的教师和建筑管理人员，通过州入学年委员会为科学和数学教学提供支持。暑期在职计划将把第一年的新教师聚集在一起，分享经验，回应对内容和教学方法的担忧。O-TEC将在俄克拉荷马州科学协会(OSTA)和数学协会(OCTM)的会议上为初级教师举办会议，以鼓励专业参与。O-TEC机构还将为遇到困难的入职教师提供咨询，并将为新教师提供设备负载。技术的使用将是所有活动的组成部分，几种评价模式将为指导提供反馈。
