Abstract: Discover the University of Florida’s STEM TIPS Initiative to provide a collaborative online mentoring and professional development system to boost retention and accelerate the professional growth of STEM teachers while building the capacity and expertise of instructional coaches. Teachers and their instructional coaches use a mobile-ready platform to access multiple tiers of support – from engaging in a community of practice to receiving feedback from online coaches and colleagues, accessing classroom-tested resources to utilizing remote video coaching technology for specific assistance in developing instructional coaching strategies to effectively promote engaging standards-aligned lessons or implement classroom management strategies. Field-tested by 3 universities and 15 school districts supporting over 1000 teachers, with 100% school principal satisfaction and 85% of teachers reporting it improved their teaching, the STEM TIPS system allows programs to extend a lifeline to teachers.
