### Section I.c Enrollment

Provide the number of students in the teacher preparation program in the following categories. Note that you must report on the number of students by ethnicity and race separately. Individuals who are non-Hispanic/Latino will be reported in one of the race categories. Also note that individuals can belong to one or more racial groups, so the sum of the members of each racial category may not necessarily add up to the total number of students enrolled.

For the purpose of Title II reporting, an enrolled student is defined as a student who has been admitted to a teacher preparation program, but who has not completed the program during the academic year being reported. An individual who completed the program during the academic year being reported is counted as a program completer and not an enrolled student.

## Section II Annual Goals - Mathematics

Each institution of higher education (IHE) that conducts a traditional teacher preparation program (including programs that offer any ongoing professional development programs) or alternative route to state credential program, and that enrolls students receiving Federal assistance under this Act, shall set annual quantifiable goals for increasing the number of prospective teachers trained in teacher shortage areas designated by the Secretary or by the state educational agency, including mathematics, science, special education, and instruction of limited English proficient students. (5205(a)(1)(A)(ii), 5206(a))

Information about teacher shortage areas can be found at http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/pol/tsa.html.

Please provide the information below about your program's goals to increase the number of prospective teachers in mathematics in each of three academic years.

Academic year 2013-14

Did your program prepare teachers in mathematics in 2013-14?

Yes

How many prospective teachers did your program plan to add in mathematics in 2013-14?

5

Did your program meet the goal for prospective teachers set in mathematics in 2013-14?

No

Description of strategies used to achieve goal, if applicable:

The EPP Program added two majors to the profession in Mathematics. These majors were recruited from pre-medical majors.

Description of steps to improve performance in meeting goal or lessons learned in meeting goal, if applicable:

The School of Education and The College of Arts and Sciences collaborating to have students who are not meeting pre-medical fields because of successive test challenges to come to Teacher Education. Additional scholarship dollars have helped in the process when students agree to change their major. We have also increased recruitment methods using the Thorobred Express. Faculty and staff travel on buses throughout the Commonwealth to recruit education majors, with specific emphasis on stem. We are also working with high school FEA (Future Educators of America).

Provide any additional comments, exceptions and explanations below:

We will continue to utilize strategies outlined above and take advantage of other opportunities that come our way. The School of Education and the College of Arts and Sciences will continue to encourage students who pre-medical majors may not be as successful as anticipated. The approach is to demonstrate to students how they can remain engaged in math and science but in an alternative manner. We have also secure a Toyota Scholarship Grant for STEM majors. The first cohort began spring 2015. This grant has significantly increased the sparse numbers of majors in STEM areas.

Academic year 2014-15

Is your program preparing teachers in mathematics in 2014-15?

Yes

How many prospective teachers did your program plan to add in mathematics in 2014-15?

===== PAGE 7 =====
Provide any additional comments, exceptions and explanations below:

The overall challenge is individuals do not want to teach. They become anxious regarding the testing and it impacts their self-efficacy, regardless of interventions. Another challenge are the math skills, which students enter the university. Significant numbers of potential majors (those who have declared math as their major) test "into" preparatory courses. This diminishes the pool. In 2014-2015 pilot courses were implemented to "pair" "remedial courses" with the first required math courses. Use a lab model students enrolled in both courses and received consistent assistance. Student learning outcomes were aligned to assess the competencies in the higher level courses. The results of the first cohort will be readine in spring 2015.
