Colorado School of Mines
About
The Colorado School of Mines (Mines) is a public university located in Golden, Colorado. For 150 years, its STEM-focused education and research have produced the talent, knowledge and solutions that serve industry and benefit society, all with the goal of creating a more prosperous future. Teach@Mines is the only teacher preparation program in Colorado dedicated exclusively to training STEM teachers. The teaching licenses offered include science, mathematics and the first computer science licensure program in the State of Colorado. Three pathways to licensure are available: a minor, a BS in Design Engineering with a STEM Teaching Focus Area, and an MS in STEM Education. Additionally, a combined BS/MS program is offered, allowing students to graduate in five years.

Through my Teach@Mines classes, I was paired with a mentor teacher: an outstanding high school computer science/science teacher. Working with him was an incredibly valuable experience and I continue to use skills and strategies I learned during my observations in my classroom today.
