The Annual UTeach Institute-NMSI Conference

Each year in late May, the UTeach Institute hosts a conference in Austin, Texas. The conference provides valuable opportunities for learning more about UTeach and our progress in replicating this nationally recognized program. The conference serves a variety of audiences, including teams from universities currently implementing UTeach programs, other interested universities, donors and foundations, and universities working through the RFP process.

UTeach Partner Programs

Universities currently implementing UTeach programs send teams that include co-directors, master teachers, faculty, staff, development officers, and university officials. At the conference, representatives from these universities attend focused curriculum and operational sessions and share their progress, lessons learned, and successes thus far. The conference serves as a platform for strengthening the national UTeach community and provides a mechanism for collaboratively improving and refining the program model.

Grant Applicants

If the conference falls during a year in which a request for proposals has been issued, the conference serves to further inform applicant universities about the UTeach program and the RFP process. As part of the selection process, applicant universities are selected to interviewed at an appointed time during the conference or pre-conference. When not participating in the interview, applicant university teams are encouraged to attend a variety of sessions that provide an overview of UTeach, the UTeach Institute, and the replication process.

Interested Universities

For attendees interested in learning more about UTeach and UTeach replication, the conference offers overview sessions on the history, development, and success of the UTeach program, as well as general information regarding program start up, operations, and curriculum.
