General Information

Currently in development and review by instructors, the Quantum Mentors help new and out-of-field instructors better prepare for teaching difficult subjects such as Chemistry and Mathematics by simulating typical student/teacher interactions in real-time. The software serves as a virtual mentor where teachers can become more familiar with content, effectively respond to student questions and practice proven pedagogical techniques for improving student understanding before getting in front of a live class.

The development of the Quantum Mentors is urgently needed. According to the National Center for Education Statistics report, The Condition of Education, there is a significant shortage of qualified science and mathematics teachers in the United States. An increasing number of middle schools and high schools are forced to rely on new and out-of-field teachers to fill the gap for teaching these subjects, often resulting in a substantial decline in the quality, depth and individual attention students receive.
