e-Mentoring for Student Success

学生成功虚拟指导（VMSS）是一个伙伴关系，包括国家科学教师协会;六个城市学区在加州-海沃德统一，摩根山统一，暗黑破坏神山统一，吉尔罗伊统一，北蒙特雷县，和帕哈罗谷统一学区;蒙大拿州的90个小型农村学区--比林斯公立学校、大福尔斯公立学校和曼哈顿公立学校、课程改进联盟、蒙大拿州小型学校联盟、金三角联盟、草原景观联盟，米苏拉县联盟和西北课程联盟;加州大学圣克鲁斯和蒙大拿州立大学博兹曼。 该伙伴关系的重点是提高初中和高中学生在科学方面的成绩，方法是利用一种创新的、学科的、针对具体内容的远程教学模式，对新教师进行有效的持续专业发展，这种模式有望降低教师流失率。 战略包括：新教师，导师，以及当前和未来的教师共同辅导网络;准备一个干部的管理人员，以支持新教师和他们的导师，以提高学生的学习;并满足国家需要，制定国家标准，以指导有效的指导和入门新手科学教师。该项目影响了800名新教师，480名导师，720名管理人员和10名科学教师。

The Virtual Mentoring for Student Success (VMSS) is a partnership that includes the National Science Teachers Association; six urban schools districts in California - the Hayward Unified, the Morgan Hill Unified, the Mount Diablo Unified, the Gilroy Unified, the North Monterey County, and the Pajaro Valley Unified School Districts; ninety small rural school districts in Montana - the Billings Public Schools, Great Falls Public Schools and Manhattan Public Schools, the Alliance for Curriculum Enhancement, MT Small Schools Alliance, Golden Triangle Consortium, Prairie View Consortium, Missoula County Consortium and Northwest Curriculum Consortium; University of California Santa Cruz and Montana State University-Bozeman. The partnership focuses on raising student achievement in science at the middle and high school levels through effective sustained professional development of novice teachers using an innovative, disciplinary, content-specific distance-delivery model that promises to reduce teacher attrition rates. Strategies include: co-mentoring networks of new teachers, mentors, and current and future faculty; preparing a cadre of administrators to support beginning teachers and their mentors to improve student learning; and meeting a national need by developing national standards to guide the effective mentoring and induction of novice science teachers. The project is impacting 800 novice teachers, 480 mentors, 720 administrators and 10 science faculty.
