  1. The Montana Math and Science Teacher Initiative (MMSTI) MMSTI Steering Committee Meeting Tuesday, 3 February 2009 – Helena, MT

  2. Selected Campuses for Data Collection State Institutions: • The University of Montana - Missoula • The University of Montana Western • Montana State University - Bozeman • Montana State University -Billings • Montana State University -Northern Private Institutions: • Carroll College • Rocky Mountain College • University of Great Falls Tribal College: • Salish Kootenai College

  3. Critera for Selection • Institution offers teacher education programs for K-8 Elementary Teachers and/or 5-12 Secondary Math or Science Teachers. • All teacher education programs have been approved by the Montana Board of Public Education for teacher licensure in Montana. • All selected institutions are accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges.

  4. Data Collection and Analysis Overview • K-8 and 5-12 math and science teaching vacancies. • K-8 and 5-12 math and science educator licenses and endorsements issued annually by the Office of Public Instruction (2006 – 2008). • Status of Ongoing Data Collection Process: • Identification of current teachers teaching outside their endorsement areas  In progress • Annual Vacancies  In progress

  5. 1. K-8 and 5-12 Math and Science Teaching Vacancies • Seven out of nine campuses selected for data collection refer students to the OPI website advertising teaching vacancies in the State of Montana. • Data for teaching vacancies posted on the OPI website, until recently, were not stored beyond 90 days. • Historical data available through the Critical Quality Educator Shortages report.

  6. Teaching Vacancies Vacancies Reported by Public School Districts in the Annual Data Collection Personnel Recruitment and Retention Report: 2006-2007*2007-2008** Science  59 Science  54 Mathematics  80 Mathematics  71 *Reported by 84 of 427 Public School Districts (20%) ** Reported by 71 of 423 Public School Districts (17%)

  7. Current Teaching Vacancies Posted on the OPI Website Data retrieved from the OPI website at http://www.metnet.mt.gov/TPlacement/,updated January 30, 2009.

  8. Recommendations for Future Data Collection Efforts • All State Universities and Private Institutions should consider posting education job vacancies on the OPI website. • Continually review and track job postings on OPI website to determine the number of K-8 and 5-12 math and/or science teaching vacancies throughout FY09.

  9. 2. Teaching Licenses and Endorsements Issued Annually by OPI (2006-2008) All teachers are issued either a Class 1 Professional license or Class 2 Standard License with one or more endorsements. This initiative only reviewed data for the following endorsement areas: • K-8 • Biology • Broadfield (Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Physics) • Chemistry • Earth Science • Physics • Mathematics

  10. K-8 Elementary Education Licensures and Endorsements Issued Annually OPI Licensure data 2006-2008, retrieved on December 16, 2008.

  11. 5-12 Secondary Math & Science Licensures and Endorsements Issued Annually OPI Licensure data 2006-2008, retrieved on December 16, 2008.

  12. 5-12 Secondary Math & Science Licensure and Endorsements Issued Annually OPI Licensure data 2006-2008, retrieved on December 16, 2008.

  13. Percentages of Education Graduates Who Apply for Licensure in the State of Montana K-8 Elementary Education: Bachelor's, Post -Baccalaureate, and Master’s Degrees • 2006  93% • 2007 90% • 2008  90% 5-12 Secondary Math and Science: Bachelor's, Post -Baccalaureate, and Master’s Degrees • 2006  92% • 2007  88% • 2008  89% Licensure data reported by eight of nine campuses, January 2009.

  14. Status of Ongoing Data Collection Process to Date • Identification of current teachers teaching outside of their endorsement areas  In progress • Tracking annual vacancies  In progress
