Iowa Science and Mathematics Teacher Educators Summit
On August 14, 2009, faculty members representing most of Iowa's colleges and universities gathered at Grand View University in Des Moines for a day-long conference hosted by IMSEP.
The Iowa Science and Mathematics Teacher Educators Summit, an unprecedented event for the state, opened an essential dialog on Iowa’s need for exemplary teachers of science and mathematics, and how all of Iowa’s programs can work together toward that common goal.
Materials from the meeting are now available.
