Teaching Excellence At College for High Achievement in West Virginia (TEACH-WV)

该奖学金计划正在招募大一和大二的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）专业，通过人力资源和教育的西弗吉尼亚大学学院，艺术与科学的埃伯利学院，西弗吉尼亚专业发展中心的合作努力成为合格的中学STEM教师，以及西弗吉尼亚地区教育服务机构（RESA）III，V，VII和VIII。该项目为20名学生提供奖学金，以完成Benedum协作五年制教师教育计划。奖学金获得者获得STEM学士学位，以及完成该计划后的教育硕士学位。该方案的目标是：1）增加传统上离开STEM专业的学生的保留; 2）吸引大一和大二学生获得小学和中学STEM教师认证; 3）通过STEM内容导师和STEM教育导师的合作咨询提供连续的辅导服务; 4）增加5-12 STEM教育认证的毕业生人数，5）为新教师提供支持性环境。教学策略，特别是通过科学，技术和社会（STS）方法在社会问题的背景下教授科学内容，吸引了代表性不足的群体，从而扩大了那些可能对STEM领域感兴趣的人的数量。重点是需要5-12名STEM教师，沿着任务，以鼓励STEM学生“像教师一样思考”，以鼓励这些学生对教学作为职业的兴趣。

This scholarship program is recruiting freshmen and sophomore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors to become credentialed secondary STEM teachers through a collaborative effort by the WV University College of Human Resources and Education, Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, the WV Center for Professional Development, and the WV Regional Education Service Agencies (RESA) III, V, VII, and VIII. The project provides scholarships for 20 students to complete the Benedum Collaborative Five-year teacher education program. Scholarship recipients earn a STEM bachelor's degree, as well as a master's degree in education upon completing the program. The program objectives are to: 1) Increase retention of students who traditionally leave STEM majors; 2) Attract freshmen and sophomore students to elementary and secondary STEM teacher certification; 3) Provide a continuum of mentoring services through collaborative advising from STEM content mentors and STEM education mentors; 4) Increase the number of graduates with 5-12 STEM education certification, and 5) provide a supportive environment for the new teachers. The pedagogical strategies, specifically teaching science content in the context of societal issues through Science, Technology and Society (STS) approaches, appeal to underrepresented groups, thus expanding the pool of those who could potentially become interested in STEM fields. A focus on the need for 5-12 STEM teachers, along with assignments to encourage STEM students to "think like teachers", are utilized to encourage these students' interest in teaching as a career.
