Junor Clarke, P.A. & NET-Q Research TEAM. (2010-present). Facilitator and Mentor of the Teacher-

Intern-Professor (T.I.P.) Model, which is an integral part of the program for ten NET-Q

mathematics scholars. Network for Enhancing Teacher Quality (NET-Q) project is to increase the quality and number of highly

qualified teachers who are committed to high needs schools (urban metro-Atlanta and rural Georgia

settings). Project objectives and activities include:

(a) Enhancing pre-baccalaureate teacher preparation programs;

(b) Enhancing post-baccalaureate teacher preparation programs; and

(c) Creating teacher and leadership residency programs for post-baccalaureate candidates, along with

complementary priorities (comprehensive induction/mentor program, enhanced professional develop-

ment school partnerships, and the development of faculty knowledge).

Pre- and post-baccalaureate teacher, leader preparation programs and complementary initiatives focus on

developing knowledge and skills related to teaching special education, English Language Learners (ELL),

technology, and literacy across the content areas. A unique feature of this program is its partnership with

two Historically Black Colleges to increase teacher recruitment from underrepresented groups.

Characteristics of High Quality Mathematics Teachers in Urban Classrooms This research is aligned with a National Science Foundation funded project, the Robert Noyce Urban

Mathematics Educator Program (UMEP). The overall goals of the UMEP is to increase the number of

high-quality secondary mathematics teachers who seek jobs in urban school districts and are committed to

remaining in urban school environments. The purpose of this research is to examine the connects and

disconnects between university classrooms that prepare UMEP teachers and urban /secondary

mathematics classrooms.
