Welcome to LUTE-STEM Program

Lehman Urban Transformational Education-Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (LUTE STEM), a Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) funded by the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE), is designed to prepare and support teachers in high-needs schools in the Bronx.

LUTE STEM, Lehman’s second USDOE-sponsored urban residency program, has an overarching goal of certifying 100 culturally responsive, tech-savvy Pre-K-12 teachers. We have recruited candidates who meet admission requirements for one of our master’s programs in education. Every cohort has been comprised of a diverse group of high-achieving individuals. These residents and interns participate in a year-long paid residency at a high-needs partner school in the Bronx, New York where they are required to complete a minimum of 15 hours per week assisting a host teacher during fall semester. Residents and interns then complete student teaching as full-time student teachers or interns during spring semester.

The first cohort for LUTE-STEM began in fall 2020 and we are currently supporting our fourth and final cohort toward completion in June 2024. Residents and resident interns who are accepted to LUTE STEM are expected to be on track to complete their master’s course of study; qualify for a NYSED teaching certificate by completing all required assessments and workshops; and earn a computer science education micro-credential by the end of the summer following their residency.
