Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching

Missouri Math-in-CTE Project
The Office of College and Career Readiness is undertaking a project with the National Research Center in Career Technical Education called Math-In-CTE. The Math-in-CTE project is a research-based curriculum integration model designed to enhance mathematics that is embedded in career and technical education (CTE) content. It is a process that provides the opportunity for math and career education teacher teams to work together in communities of practice and to identify where math intersects with career education concepts and applications.
College Prep Certificates
The Department will no longer produce College Prep Certificates for dissemination. The change is a result of the expectation that all students will be “College and Career Ready,” and that the standards for successful entry into the workplace are the same as those required for successful entrance into a college or university. In addition, graduation requirements now closely reflect the credit standards that had been required for the certificate. Districts may continue to offer such recognitions locally if desired.
Please contact Jackie Wieberg at (573) 751-4234 if you have additional questions.
