Developmental Planning Grant for the South Texas Mathematics, Science & Technology Center for Learning and Teaching (ST*MST*CLT)

这项发展提案旨在创建一个一体化的南得克萨斯州CLT。这三个机构合作伙伴是德克萨斯大学泛美分校、德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校和德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校。CLT将主要与圣安东尼奥和德克萨斯州南部较低的里奥格兰德山谷的学区合作。超过70%的K-12年级学生在经济上处于不利地位，几乎80%是西班牙裔。在发展阶段，他们将明确评估地区科学、数学和技术(SMT)教育需求，以及参与机构在文化、数学和技术(CLT)框架内满足这些需求的具体责任。他们还将评估与确定的目标和目标有关的现有模式和项目战略(例如，招聘、专业发展和/或SMT教育者准备的管道基础设施/职业道路)，特别是那些适合培养来自双语、双文化和低社会经济环境的拉美裔学生的教师的模式和项目战略。发展进程的一部分将侧重于开发适当的模式，以实现这些目标，并确定其他机构伙伴，包括社区学院和专业组织。

This developmental proposal aims to create an integrated SouthTexas CLT. The three institutional partners are The University of Texas --Pan American, The University of Texas -- San Antonio, and The University ofTexas -- Austin. The CLT will work primarily with school districts in SanAntonio and the lower Rio Grande Valley of south Texas. More than 70% of the K-12students are economically disadvantaged and almost 80% are Hispanic. Duringthe developmental phase they will explicitly assess the regional science,mathematics and technology (SMT) educational needs and the specificresponsibilities of the participating institutions for meeting those needswithin a CLT. They will also evaluate relevant existing models and projectstrategies dealing with defined goals and objectives (e.g., recruitment,professional development, and/or pipeline infrastructures/career pathwaysfor SMT educator preparation) especially those appropriate for thepreparation of teachers of Hispanic students from bilingual, bicultural andlow socio-economic environments. Part of the developmental process willfocus on developing models appropriate for meeting these goals and foridentifying other institutional partners including community colleges andprofessional organizations.
