Tech Prep is an emerging educational reform in the United States. Thirty of 37 states responding to a recent survey had some type offormal Tech Prep initiative in place (R. Hayes, 1995). Although Tech Prep has received its strongest backing from practitioners in technology education, science teacher educators must prepare teachers for these programs. The problem is that few may be ready. This paper provides an overview of Tech Prep and a model for its integration into the K‐12 curriculum. It then discusses implications for science and mathematics teacher preparation.
