There is a strategic imperative for Georgia Tech to promote teaching as a valued careergoal and to support those STEM majors who wish to pursue a career in teaching in the K 12arena. As part of a new, campus-wide initiative, supported by the NSF, Georgia Tech hasimplemented a series of activities to promote careers in K-12 teaching, and has set up theinfrastructure to track and evaluate these initiatives. This paper will describe the initiativesimplemented so far, the types of road blocks encountered, and the numbers of students enteringteaching from various engineering fields. Our goal is to change the perceptions

testing of candidate assessment items is accomplished using cognitive interviews. Oncea number of questions have been brainstormed for a particular assessment, the questions areprinted (one to a page) and tested with students. Each interviewer takes a number of thequestions (no more than can be tested in 20 minutes with a student) and sits one-on-one with astudent to test the questions.During a cognitive interview, the interviewer first reassures the student that the purpose of theinterview is to see if the questions are good ones, not to test the student. Whether or not thestudent knows the answer to a question, we ask that s/he let us know what s/he thinks thequestion is asking, and whether any words or phrases are particularly confusing. The

At our institution, The College ofNew Jersey (TCNJ), it was felt that the Department of Technological Studies, housed withinthe School of Engineering, was well positioned to provide a unique K-5 academic major bycombining the T&E with the M&S components of STEM, resulting in a program breadth thatmatches well the breadth of skills needed by a highly skilled K-5 teacher.Such a program was established at TCNJ in 1998 and is formally referred to as the Math-Science-Technology or MST program. The program has substantial requirements in allSTEM areas, and takes a truly integrated-STEM approach. To the authors

Initiating teachers into the research process in the first week of theRET experience is key. In this paper, we describe how we use a Legacy Cycle approach to trainthe teachers in the research process. The inquiry approach inherent in a Legacy Cycle providesteachers the flexibility to research topics and develop their interests, yet the structure of theCycle keeps the teachers focused and progressing towards the final goal/product: their researchquestion. Using the Legacy Cycle early in the RET experience also showcases how a Cycleunfolds when implemented. This is
