Tennessee Board of Regents Teacher Preparation Partnership (Large Scale Teacher Preparation) (TBRTP)

田纳西州董事会教师准备伙伴关系(TBRTP伙伴关系)的主要目标是通过大规模的伙伴关系和系统性的变化，改善田纳西州未来小学教师的数学、科学和技术准备。田纳西州董事会(TBR)系统内的七所社区学院(东北州立技术社区学院、沃尔特斯州立社区学院、罗恩州立社区学院、克利夫兰州立社区学院、查塔努加州立技术社区学院、莫特洛州立社区学院、佩利西比州立技术社区学院)和两所四年制大学(东田纳西州立大学和田纳西理工大学)联合起来，为教师开发一个共同的核心课程，包括教学和技术入门课程以及基于标准的数学和科学课程。共同的核心是提供从社区学院到大学和机构之间的无缝转移。该项目支持教师通过暑期教师培训机构为课程开发基于研究的内容和教学方法，通过大学网络进行交流，并前往州和全国会议。通过这笔赠款，每个院校都在开发一个资源区，以支持学生在课程中的学习。学生们在整个项目的过程中接触到了许多技术。通过加强未来教师组织和Prxis I成功研讨会，还鼓励学生追求教师职业生涯。教学与技术课程包括早期的实地经验，以帮助学生确定他们对教师职业的承诺程度。在职教师参加为职前教师开设的一些课程的部分课程。为教师开发这一以标准为基础的核心课程直接涉及到研究证据，这些证据表明，教学知识必须是教师准备工作的中心重点。

The primary goal of the Tennessee Board of Regents Teacher Preparation Partnership (TBRTP Partnership) is to improve the mathematics, science, and technology preparation of future elementary level teachers in Tennessee through a large-scale partnership and systemic change. Seven community colleges (Northeast State Technical Community College, Walters State Community College, Roane State Community College, Cleveland State Community College, Chattanooga State Technical Community College, Motlow State Community College, Pellissippi State Technical Community College) and two four-year universities (East Tennessee State University and Tennessee Technological University) within the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) system have joined together to develop a common core of courses for teachers consisting of an introduction to teaching and technology course and standards-based mathematics and science courses. The common core is providing seamless transfer from community college to university and among institutions. The project supports faculty members in developing research based content and pedagogy for the courses through summer faculty development institutes, communication via a collegial network, and travel to state and national conferences. Through the grant, each institution is developing a resource area to support student learning in the courses. Students are exposed to a number of technologies as they progress through the program. Students also receive encouragement to pursue teaching careers through strengthened future teacher organizations and Praxis I Success Workshops. A teaching and technology course includes early field experiences to help students determine their level of commitment to the teaching profession. In-service teachers participate in sections of some of the courses developed for pre-service teachers. The development of this core of standards-based courses for teachers directly addresses the research evidence that suggests that content knowledge must be the central focus in the preparation of teachers.
