A new teacher “pipeline” at the University of Maryland, College Park, is expected to help with difficult-to-fill teacher positions in Prince George’s County.
“It absolutely bolsters our available pool of STEM [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] teachers. And because we’re partners with the university, it gives us ready access to those students coming through the program,” Debra Sullivan, recruitment and retention officer in Prince George’s County Public Schools Department of Human Resources, said of Terrapin Teachers, a new program designed to encourage more undergraduate students in STEM fields to go into teaching.
