Description of strategies used to achieve goal, if applicable:
We added 4 new math ed (8-12) majors in 2015-2016. We feel the frustration of our high school partners, who are reaching out to us for qualified math teachers. Our math faculty, especially our math ed rep, worked tirelessly with "pure math" majors to help them understand the benefits of teaching careers and to meet the program entry and exit requirements. In addition, our biology ed and math ed reps received a Governor's Minority Student College Preparation Program (GMSCPP) grant to provide support to minority students to attend college.

We've discussed our enrollment data in many settings and brainstormed strategies for recruiting high school students to move toward careers in teaching. This year, we have gone through the planning process with P-12 partners, as well as the internal approval process, to begin "grow your own" efforts, which include dual credit courses, to build teacher pathways within and beyond our region, in order to enhance the pool of teachers, especially those in high need areas like math.

This year (2016-2017), we collaborated with colleagues in the Kentucky Department of Education to provide the first Kentucky Educators Rising conference on our campus 3/11/17, and we were awarded a $10,000 grant to plan for the initiation and support of new Ed Rising chapters in our region's high schools in 2017-2018. These efforts will help us to build relationships and get our name out in the schools in a very positive way, and we hope they have longer term effects in our ed prep enrollment.
