In the Phoenix metropolitan area, high-need schools often experience on-going vacancies in the teaching staff and a high turnover rate of qualified teachers. This project attempts to identify and support up to 60 qualified secondary science teachers who will persist in high-need environments. Using different methods of recruitment, in conjunction with a marketing plan, science students are being identified and recruited to participate in undergraduate or post-baccalaureate programs that have extensive field experiences with diverse students, strong content knowledge requirements, and on-going opportunities to build their understanding of science as inquiry instruction. While students are completing their initial certification course work, field placements are being arranged in high need settings that consist of students who are Native American, Latina/o, or African American. Upon graduation, STARR Noyce teachers participate in science-focused induction programs, which specifically support their use of science as inquiry in diverse classrooms, their development as science teachers, and their socialization into the school community.Ultimately, the dissemination of these findings is expected to direct future recruitment endeavors in this area.

在凤凰城都市区，高需求学校经常出现师资持续空缺和合格教师流动率较高的情况。该项目试图寻找并支持最多 60 名合格的中学科学教师，让他们能够坚持在高需求的环境中。使用不同的招聘方法，结合营销计划，理科学生被识别和招募来参加本科或学士后课程，这些课程具有与不同学生进行广泛的现场经验、强大的内容知识要求以及持续的机会来建立他们对科学作为探究教学的理解。当学生完成最初的认证课程作业时，我们将在高需求环境中安排实地实习，其中包括美洲原住民、拉丁裔或非裔美国人的学生。毕业后，STARR Noyce 教师参加以科学为重点的入职培训计划，该计划专门支持他们在不同的课堂中使用科学作为探究、他们作为科学教师的发展以及他们融入学校社区。最终，这些发现的传播预计将指导该领域未来的招聘工作。
