Abstract
With NSF Noyce funding, the RE-MAST program at Newberry College met the goal to more than double the STEM secondary-certified teachers over a five-year period. Based on the findings from the RE-MAST Phase I program, the REMAST Phase II program goals are 1) recruit 9 to 16 additional STEM majors into teaching; 2) provide educational support for Scholars; 3) provide professional development (PD) opportunities for Mentors, Scholars, Scholar graduates (Teaching Fellows), and grant personnel; and 4) pursue an innovative research agenda related to teacher persistence and effectiveness. The design and status of the program will be presented with program participants.
