Teacher Education Collaboration for High-Need Schools - New Jersey (TECHS-NJ)

TECHS-NJ计划正在招募、准备、认证并帮助留住26名科学和数学教师，他们在毕业时持有生物学、植物学、化学、环境地质学、环境科学、地质学、数学、物理学或动物学的学士学位，并获得新泽西州教师证书，并在纽瓦克公立学校（一个高需求学区）工作。新泽西理工学院（NJIT）、罗格斯-纽瓦克大学（RN）、纽瓦克博物馆（NM）和纽瓦克公立学校（NPS）正在整合现有的STEM本科课程、城市教育教师认证课程、高质量的专业发展和服务活动，这些活动利用了其他NSF支持的项目、社区建设活动和支持服务，而学生则是本科生和早期的教学。该项目的主要组成部分是：1)招募NJIT和RN的优秀大一和大二学生以及NPS高中的高年级学生，代表不同的学生群体。2)为获得科学学科或数学的完整学位而做的学术准备。3)通过RN城市教育部提供的教师培训，旨在为学生在高需求学区的教学做好准备。诺伊斯奖学金获得者参加为期一年的、资助的、探究驱动的专业发展项目，指导在TECHS-NJ跟随他们的学生，并在新泽西理工大学的HS学生暑期项目中磨练他们的技能。4) TECHS-NJ的学生拥有RN和NJIT的许多支持服务资源，并参加每月的社区建设会议/活动。学生有学术和教师教育顾问。

The TECHS-NJ program is recruiting, preparing, certifying and helping retain a new cohort of 26 science and mathematics teachers, who, upon graduation, hold baccalaureate degrees in Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Environmental Geology, Environmental Science, Geology, Mathematics, Physics or Zoology with New Jersey teacher certification and a job in the Newark Public Schools, a high-need school district. New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Rutgers-Newark (RN), Newark Museum (NM, and Newark Public Schools (NPS) are bringing together existing STEM undergraduate programs, an urban education teacher certification program, high quality professional development and service activities that leverage other NSF supported programs, community building activities and support services while students are undergraduates and while they are in the early years of teaching. The project's main components are:1) Recruitment of high achieving freshmen and sophomores at NJIT and RN and seniors in NPS high schools representing diverse student populations.2) Academic Preparation leading to a full academic degree in a scientific discipline or mathematics.3) Teacher Preparation provided through RN's Department of Urban Education which is designed to prepare students to teach in high need school districts. Noyce Scholarship recipients participate in year-long, grant supported, inquiry-driven professional development programs, mentor students who follow them in TECHS-NJ and hone their skills in a summer program for HS students at NJIT. 4) TECHS-NJ students have the resources of RN's and NJIT's many support services and participate in monthly community building meetings/activities. Students have both academic and teacher education advisors.
