Abstract
The Urban Teaching Partnership Program (UTP) is a field-based, post-baccalaureate teacher education program that was developed, as one effort to meet the national and local shortage of teachers in urban contexts. The UTP offers an intensive route to teacher licensure in the state of Nevada for individuals with baccalaureate degrees outside of education. The purposes of UTP are to prepare teachers for urban contexts, blend the theory and practice of teaching, and offer experienced teachers professional development and mentoring opportunities. The College of Education at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and the Clark County School District (CCSD) were partners in the development and implementation of this program. The purpose of this article is to provide information related to the program, especially in the areas of development, implementation, and evaluation.
