The program is dedicated to recruiting and preparing math and science majors to become successful high school teachers. The program includes a variety of early and strategic field experiences, beginning in the freshman year; streamlined content-specific pedagogy coursework; community-building activities and resources; and intense student advising and support. E=mc2 (http://ed.temple.edu/emc2/index.html) is a 15-month post-baccalaureate/Masters degree program funded by the U.S. Department of Education that prepares individuals from STEM-related careers to teach middle school science or math.

The TUteach courses include the responsibility of managing the practice teaching components of each of these courses, advising and mentoring students, and performing other duties as assigned. In addition to these teaching duties, the successful candidate will assist in providing administrative support for and strategic oversight of the E=MC2 program.
