Abstract	U.S. schools are facing chronic shortages of qualified teachers, resulting in the hiring of unqualified teachers who are disproportionately assigned to disadvantaged students. Further, changing demographics are resulting in racial/ethnic and cultural mismatch between teachers and students they serve, causing additional educational problems. This solution to the shortage and mismatch lies in attracting more students to teacher preparation programs, especially culturally and racially/ethnically diverse students. This study describes collaboration between a university and school districts to offer dual enrollment courses and a summer camp for high school students considering teaching careers. The researchers examined the effect of camp participation on perceived readiness to enroll in college and teach a class in a public school, as well as participants' likelihood of entering a teacher preparation program. Study results suggest early exposure to teaching experiences positively influence high school students' perceptions of teaching as a career. Impact on participants and implications for teacher recruitment are discussed. (As Provided).
