Get the Facts Out will change this by providing faculty with well-developed strategies and materials designed to dispel negative misperceptions and offer accurate and positive information about the teaching profession. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br> The project team hopes to engage mathematics and mathematics teacher education departments in this important work.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br> Requests of departments include:<br> \u2022    Consider implementing Get the Facts Out strategies and materials in your department<br> \u2022    Contacting students and faculty annually to complete brief online surveys about their perceptions of grade 7-12 teaching as a profession<br> \u2022    Providing an annual count of majors who enroll in a teacher preparation program<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br> Benefits to departments include:<br> \u2022    Research-based, user-tested strategies and materials to aid your teacher recruitment efforts<br> \u2022    An annual report analyzing the data from your department, which can inform teacher recruitment efforts<br> \u2022    Consultation with experts on the above, as requested<br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in learning more or getting involved?
