The goal of eMINTS is " to support educators as they integrate multimedia technology into inquiry-based, student-centered, interdisciplinary, collaborative teaching practices that result in improved student performance, increased parent involvement and enriched instructional effectiveness."

During the two year coursework students will be required to complete and submit selected artifacts.  Some of these include: site visit reflections, a webquest, an inquiry-based lesson plan, and a classroom website.  Modules covered during the coursework will lead to the development of these artifacts. 

In addition, as part of the certification requirements, Missouri State students must do their student teaching in an eMINTS classroom in the Nixa R-II School District or in Springfield Public Schools.
