This scholarship program is bringing together a number of partners to cooperatively recruit, train, employ and induct 40 new math, science and technology teachers for the Chicago Public Schools. Partners include the Department of Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Mathematics, and Physics; The College of Education at ISU, The Center for Mathematics Science and Technology at ISU, the Little Village School Partnership of Chicago, and the City Colleges of Chicago. The project is significantly increasing the number of preK-12 teachers by recruiting and fostering new STEM teacher candidates, and financing their attendance for up to two years in existing high quality NCATE-accredited certification programs for teacher preparation. Sixteen scholarships for undergraduates and 24 stipends for post-baccalaureate students in the areas of math and science are being provided. In addition, the project is making particular efforts to recruit and support under-represented and minority populations from the Chicago Public Schools Little Village Area into the teaching professions. An ongoing research program is being conducted on a factor analysis of the pre-service experiences that lead to particular urban career patterns of retention, quality, and student achievement. This is of particular relevance for this scholarship program, and is providing specific evidence of the types of experiences which can lead to teacher retention, and student success in mathematics and science. Further, when comparisons are made with the greater ISU teacher education candidate population, the research is expected to lead to programmatic changes and insights in urban mathematics and science teacher preparation.

这一奖学金计划将许多合作伙伴聚集在一起，为芝加哥公立学校合作招聘、培训、聘用和引入40名新的数学、科学和技术教师。合作伙伴包括化学、生物科学、数学和物理系、ISU教育学院、ISU数学科学和技术中心、芝加哥小乡村学校伙伴关系和芝加哥城市学院。该项目通过招聘和培养新的STEM教师候选人，并资助他们参加现有的高质量NCATE认可的教师准备认证计划，显著增加了K-12年级前教师的数量。目前正在为数学和科学领域的本科生提供16项奖学金，并为获得学士学位的学生提供24项津贴。此外，该项目还特别努力从芝加哥公立学校小村地区招募和支持代表不足的少数族裔人口进入教师职业。一项正在进行的研究计划正在对任职前经历的因素分析进行，这些因素导致了特定的城市职业模式的留存、质量和学生成就。这与这个奖学金项目特别相关，并提供了可以导致教师留住和学生在数学和科学方面取得成功的经验类型的具体证据。此外，当与更大的执行支助大学教师教育候选人人数进行比较时，这项研究有望导致城市数学和科学教师培养的方案变化和洞察力。
