Recruiting Teachers in High-Needs STEM Fields: A Survey of Current Majors and Recent STEM graduates
The United States faces persistent shortages of appropriately trained middle and high school STEM teachers in high-needs fields, particularly physics, chemistry, and computer science. The American Physical Society, American Chemical Society, Computing Research Association, and Mathematics Teacher Education Partnership surveyed over 6,000 current and recent majors in our disciplines. Our goals were to: *Investigate the attitudes and opinions of undergraduate majors and recent graduates from high-needs STEM fields towards teaching. *Identify incentives that are both feasible and likely to be effective based on the responses of students showing some interest in teaching. *Develop recommendations for the professional societies and disciplinary departments.

Constructing 21st-Centruy Teacher Education
Much of what teachers need to know to be successful is invisible to lay observers, leading to the view that teaching requires little formal study and to frequent disdain for teacher education programs. This article argues that we have learned a great deal about how to create stronger, more effective teacher education programs. Three critical components of such programs include tight coherence and integration among courses and between course work and clinical work in schools, extensive and intensely supervised clinical work integrated with course work using pedagogies that link theory and practice, and closer, proactive relationships with schools that serve diverse learners effectively and develop and model good teaching. The article also urges that schools of education should resist pressures to water down preparation, which ultimately undermine the preparation of entering teachers, the reputation of schools of education, and the strength of the profession.
