IMSEP director Jeff Weld on Iowa Public Radio
Listen to the achieved audio of Director Jeff Weld's interview on the "Talk@12" program on Iowa Public Radio as he explains how IMSEP is leading the way in enhancing teacher quality, student performance, and recruiting more math and science teacher majors to combat the teacher shortage problem facing Iowa.
Discussion points include:
- How Project Lead the Way is enhancing the development of potential engineers with a pre-engineering curriculum package for middle and high school students.
- How the Teacher Externship program is answering that age old question that all math and science teachers hear, "When am I going to need this in the read world?"
- How IMSEP's innovative I-Teach program is actively recruiting highly qualified college students into the math and science teacher pipeline to combat the teacher shortage problem facing the state.
