This program has offered many opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. For one, I am able to graduate on time with only taking 13 or 14 hrs a semester with a biology degree and teachers certification. If I was not in the aggieTEACH program I would be here at least another semester, if not a year.

Why Donate?

 

Texas A&M out produces all other Texas instutuions of higher education in university trained secondary STEM teachers by more than 2 to 1. While we are committed to maintaining our leadership in the state in STEM teacher production, we want to grow our pipeline, increase opportunity for current students, and support our graduates. This is possible only with contributions from generous donors since the state of Texas does not provide fiscal resourses for our STEM teacher preparation program.

The aggieTEACH vision is to create enriching, educational and professional-growth opportunities for current STEM pre-service teachers. We believe the key to successful STEM teaching is to get STEM pre-service teachers the most field experience possible while at Texas A & M University. Offering current aggieTEACH students financial support, creating programs where aggieTEACH students reach out to middle and high school students and share the excitement of teaching in the STEM fields, providing aggieTEACH students summer internships with STEM companies, and offering support for aggieTEACH graduates during their induction year are all ways we can fulfill our vision.

If you are intersted in making some of these visions of aggieTEACH become reality by giving to the aggieTEACH program, please contact Dr. Tim Scott, Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs and Development at tim@science.tamu.edu or call (979)-845-7362.
