Nationwide there is a serious shortage of well-qualified secondary STEM educators. Through the support of the NSF Robert Noyce STEM Teacher Scholarship and Stipends Program (NSF 2151027) and Metropolitan State University of Denver, a leader in the preparation of teachers and education of all students in Colorado, provides equitable STEM teaching and learning through innovative curricula and comprehensive support services to recruit and prepare STEM majors to teach in grades 7-12.

The STEM secondary teacher education programming focuses on providing transformative pre-service clinical experiences and in-service educator professional development, tailored recruitment, and retention to graduation of students into STEM and STEM teaching. Through multiple pathways, the program is designed to prepare educators to meet the needs of metro Denver and Colorado.
