The program--a collaboration among the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Education, and area school districts--seeks to attract interested students to explore teaching early in their undergraduate careers. The goal of the program is to allow students who enter as sophomores to complete both the bachelor's degree and the professional development coursework required for teacher certification in four years. Key features of the program are field experience, mentorship and seminar instruction, cohort support, discipline-specific pedagogical preparation, literacy training, and innovative use of technology. UTeach-Liberal Arts students experience the public school classroom and teach progressively longer lessons with the guidance of mentor teachers. By working with some of the most respected teachers in Texas, students quickly learn whether they are suited for the teaching profession. More information about UTeach-Liberal Arts is available at http://www.utexas.edu/cola/uteach/.
