Math for America San Diego Noyce Fellowship Program

加州大学圣地亚哥分校和美国数学圣地亚哥分会（MfA）与加州州立大学圣马科斯分校和圣地亚哥州立大学以及四个学区(埃斯孔迪多联合高中区，格罗斯蒙特联合高中区，Oceanside联合学区，和圣地亚哥联合学区)正在帮助改变圣地亚哥社区的数学教学，通过一个模型项目，旨在显著增加该地区数学教师的数量和技能水平。这项工作的基本目标是通过为24名被选中的教师提供广泛的专业支持，在他们的证书学年和他们在高需求学校的头四年教学中提高学生的数学学习水平。MfA SD Noyce奖学金计划包括为精心挑选的教学研究员提供财务，教育和专业支持的综合计划。该项目在整个研究金期限内提供强有力的专业发展服务，包括每年夏季研修；由学校经验丰富的模范教师指导新教师；一个激励制度，旨在吸引和奖励高素质的人才，使教学岗位与附近的高科技产业具有竞争力；以及一个强有力的评估计划来衡量进展和项目的成功。该项目受益于“美国数学”全国网络，该网络提供了一个通用的电子奖学金申请程序，在开发评估机制方面开展了合作，并加强了筹资。MfA SD是一个相互关联和综合的学术，专业和社会支持系统的凝聚力设计方案。它们的目的和智力基础结构是共同的，这将教授、研究员、教师和管理人员团结在一个数学教育结构中，这个结构由两个基本问题指导：“学校应该教什么数学？”和“应该如何教数学？”评估部分的设计不仅影响对项目结果的理解，而且还阐明有助于留住教师、影响教师学习的项目要素，并揭示有关教师经验的数据，以便与全国的教育研究人员共享。

The University of California, San Diego, and the San Diego chapter of Math for America (MfA) , in partnership with California State University San Marcos and San Diego State University and four school districts (Escondido Union High School District, Grossmont Union High School District, Oceanside Unified School District, and San Diego Unified School District) are helping to transform mathematics teaching in the San Diego community through a model program designed to significantly increase the numbers and skill levels of mathematics teachers in the region. The fundamental objective of the effort is to improve student learning of mathematics by providing 24 selected teachers with extensive professional support in their credential year and throughout their first four years of teaching in high-need schools. The MfA SD Noyce Fellowship Program encompasses a comprehensive plan of financial, educational and professional support provided to carefully selected Teaching Fellows. The project provides for strong professional development services, including annual summer institutes, throughout the term of the fellowships; mentoring of the new teachers by experienced, exemplary teachers in their schools; an incentive system designed to attract and reward high quality individuals by making teaching positions competitive with nearby, high-tech industries; and a robust evaluation plan to measure progress and programmatic success. The project is benefiting from the national network of Math for America which offers a common, electronic fellowship application process, collaboration in the development of evaluative mechanisms, and enhanced fund-raising. MfA SD is a cohesively designed program of inter-related and integrated academic, professional, and social support systems. There is a commonality in their purpose and an intellectual infrastructure that unites its professors, fellows, teachers, and administrators in a structure for mathematics education that is guided by two fundamental questions: "What is the mathematics that should be taught in school?" and "How should it be taught?" The evaluation component is designed to impact not only understanding of the project's findings, but also illuminate programmatic elements that contribute to teacher retention, influence teacher learning, and reveal data about teacher experiences so they can be shared with education researchers nation-wide.
