UTeach – Pan American is a four-year, teacher preparation program for science and math majors modeled after the nationally recognized UTeach program established at The University of Texas at Austin in 1997. UTeach – Pan American’s first cohort of students, selected in summer 2012, enrolled in STEP 1: INQUIRY APPROACHES TO TEACHING (UTCH 1101) in fall 2012 and STEP 2: INQUIRY-BASED LESSON DESIGN (UTCH 1102) in spring 2013.

Students in both courses spend a portion of their time in a public school classroom as they begin to learn how to teach.

Before acceptance into the STEP 1 course, students must:

  • complete the criminal background check required by the school district and
  • provide evidence they have been tested for TB (tuberculosis) and had the test results evaluated.

For more information about enrolling in UTCH 1101, please contact us at uteach@utpa.edu

The UTeach Office is located in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, EDCC 2.510, in the Education Complex on the northeast side of the campus. It is open from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. during the week.

Fall 2012, the College of Education added the BS in Early Care & Early Childhood Studies. An Early Care Application can be obtained from the Department of Curriculum and Instruction (EDCC 2.510). Deadline for Spring 2013 is Friday, November 16th by 4:00.  If you have any questions, please call Dr. Hilda Medrano at (956) 665-2002 medrano@utpa.edu or Dr. Irasema S. González at (956) 665-7224, gonzalezi@utpa.edu .

Drop and withdrawal date deadline is set at the completion of *85% of the term (Fall 2012: November 27, 2012).
