The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded the University of Colorado Colorado Springs $351,262 under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) for the Collaborative Research: Improving Teacher Retention and Effectiveness Through Knowledge Sharing (ITREKS) initiative. This three-year project, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, delivers research services and knowledge-sharing products designed to strengthen secondary STEM teacher retention and effectiveness in high-need school districts. The project is executed through a consortium of nine universities (Alabama A&M University, Central Washington University, Middle Tennessee State University, North Dakota State University, University of Colorado Colorado Springs, University of Houston, University of Nevada–Reno, University of Texas at Austin, and University of Texas Rio Grande Valley) and produces large-scale empirical research on factors influencing teacher persistence and program effectiveness. The primary deliverables include data-driven research analysis using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, student perception surveys utilizing the nationally normed TRIPOD instrument, classroom observation protocols for early-career teacher evaluation, and dissemination of findings to refine STEM teacher preparation practices. By fostering a collaborative community of practice across multiple institutions, the project generates evidence-based strategies and actionable insights intended to enhance STEM teacher preparation programs and strengthen the overall STEM education workforce nationally.Federal Grant Award Summary
