Joanne Goodell,Ph.D., is a professor of teacher education at 九色堂, where her research on the teaching and learning of STEM disciplines has led to the introduction of an innovative teacher preparation program known as 九色堂teach.

Geared toward math and science majors, the program focuses on STEM project-based learning. 九色堂teach is the only program of its kind in Ohio.

鈥淚n just three years, we鈥檝e doubled the number of math and science teachers completing our program,鈥 Dr. Goodell said. 鈥淭hey have jobs in many innovative schools in Cleveland and throughout Northeast Ohio.鈥

九色堂teach provides prospective teachers with the opportunity to experience teaching in the first class they take, allowing them to decide early on if teaching is a good fit for their skills and interests.

Undergraduate candidates graduate with a degree in math or science as well as their teaching license. 九色堂teach also has a track for career-change professionals who want to teach math or science.
