The Lake City Community College Math and Science Project: Teachers of Excellence (MaST Excel) Program is delivering alternative certification preparation for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionals from rural, North Central Florida. The training program is being offered in partnership with school districts in Baker, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, and Union Counties, although students from other counties in north Florida and South Georgia are eligible to attend. The MaST Excel Program is actively recruiting a diverse pool of STEM professionals, encouraging the participation of underrepresented populations. A cohort of fifteen, high quality applicants completes the program each year, resulting in 60 new math and science Teachers of Excellence by the end of the four-year stipend program.Stipend recipients are participating in an innovative, competency-based alternative certification program, gaining practical experience with lesson planning, classroom management, and research-based Cooperative learning strategies. A special Math and Science Teacher (MaST) component facilitates the integration of real world math and science into the classroom. Extensive cohort development, mentoring, and follow-up supervision is helping participants successfully transition from STEM professional to student to teacher, increasing both the number of math and science educators and quality of regional K-12 math and science learning outcomes. Data from the evaluation program is being used to continually improve program elements and assess the ultimate impact of the program on local math and science education in high need schools.

莱克城社区学院数学和科学项目：卓越教师(MAST Excel)计划正在为来自佛罗里达州中北部农村的科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)专业人员提供替代认证准备。该培训计划是与贝克、哥伦比亚、迪克西、吉尔克里斯特和联合县的学区合作提供的，尽管来自佛罗里达州北部和南乔治亚州其他县的学生有资格参加。MAST EXCEL计划正在积极招募不同的STEM专业人员，鼓励代表性不足的人群参与。每年有15名高素质的申请者完成该项目，在为期四年的津贴计划结束时，会产生60名新的优秀数学和科学教师。Stipend获奖者正在参加一个创新的、基于能力的替代认证计划，获得关于课程规划、课堂管理和基于研究的合作学习策略的实践经验。一个特殊的数学和科学教师(MAST)组件促进了现实世界中的数学和科学融入课堂。广泛的队列发展、指导和后续监督正在帮助参与者成功地从STEM专业人员过渡到学生和教师，增加了数学和科学教育工作者的数量，并提高了地区K-12数学和科学学习成果的质量。来自评估计划的数据将用于不断改进计划内容，并评估该计划对当地高需求学校的数学和科学教育的最终影响。
