The University of Indianapolis Teach (STEM)3 awards a MAT degree with licensure in Chemistry, Biology, or Math. UIndy TS3 consists of multiple layers of support, including a clinical residency, integrated and scaffolded coursework, and two years of in-service mentoring. Evaluation and retention results indicate that candidates are well-supported in their high-need classrooms by these program components. The 3-year retention rate of 93% over eight cohorts is higher than the national average.

Evaluators of a Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program developed templates and guidelines with program leaders so that teachers could conduct their own evaluations of student outcomes. They discuss the challenges, explain improvements, and reflect on strengths and shortcomings of this approach.
