The NDSU Collaborative for Mathematics and Science Teacher Preparation (NDSU - CoMSTeP)

北达科他州州立大学数学和科学教师培训合作项目(NDSU-CoMSTeP)是一个为期三年的单一机构CETP Track I项目，旨在增加北达科他州初中和高中科学和数学教师的培训人数。北达科他州立大学(NDSU)和海龟山社区学院(TMCC)的本科生是招生的目标人群。该项目的目标是：(1)至少将这两个机构培养的科学和数学教师的人数增加一倍；(2)显著增加美洲原住民科学和数学教师的人数；(3)开发一种模式，以增加在农村地区培养的中学科学和数学教师的人数和文化多样性。该项目涉及三项干预措施：(1)积极主动地招募一年级和二年级大学/学院科学和数学课程的学生和高三学生进入教师生涯轨道；(2)本科生参与旨在支持和丰富学生从教愿望的科学/数学教学兴趣小组；(3)改革本科科学和数学课程的教学，以提高所有人的学习质量，特别是那些科学和数学教师预备计划的学生。

The NDSU Collaborative for Mathematics and Science Teacher Preparation (NDSU-CoMSTeP) is a three-year, single-institution, CETP Track I project designed to increase the number of middle and senior high school science and mathematics teachers prepared in North Dakota. The undergraduate students at North Dakota State University (NDSU) and Turtle Mountain Community College (TMCC) are the target recruitment populations. The project goals are to: (1) at least double the number of science and mathematics teachers prepared by the two institutions, (2) significantly increase the number of Native American science and mathematics teachers, and (3) develop a model for increasing the number and cultural diversity of secondary science and mathematics teachers prepared in rural regions. The project involves three interventions: (1) proactive recruitment of students from first and second year university /college science and mathematics courses and high school seniors into teaching career tracks, (2) undergraduate student involvement in science/mathematics teaching interest groups designed to support and enrich the students' desires to enter teaching, and (3) the reform of teaching in undergraduate science and mathematics courses in order to improve the quality of learning for all, but particularly for those students in the science and mathematics teacher preparation programs.
