Mathematics and Science Relicensing Project 1986-87. OEA Evaluation Report.

Overview & Synopsis

The Mathematics and Science Relicensing Project provides out-of-license mathematics and science teachers with an opportunity to complete the required coursework needed to qualify for the appropriate licensing examination. In 1986-87, a pilot program offering a Master's Degree in science education was begun. It allows participants to accumulate credits toward licensure while earning a Master's degree in science education. The objectives of this program were to facilitate licensing for those in need, attract female and minority participation and representation among mathematics and science teachers, and encourage program participants to apply for and pass the appropriate licensing examination. This document contains four sections: (1) "Introduction," including background of the program, population served, objectives, and project evaluation; (2) "Program Components"; (3) "Reaction to the Perceptions of Instructional Component"; and (4) "Conclusions and Recommendations."
