Math for America San Diego Noyce Fellowship Program

加州大学圣地亚哥分校和美国数学（MfA）圣地亚哥分会，与加州州立大学圣马科斯和圣地亚哥州立大学和四个学区合作（埃斯孔迪多联合高中区，格罗斯蒙特联合高中区，海滨联合学区，圣地亚哥联合学区（San Diego Unified School District）正在通过一个旨在显着提高学生数量和技能水平的示范项目，帮助圣地亚哥社区改变数学教学。该地区的数学教师。这项工作的基本目标是通过为24名选定的教师提供广泛的专业支持，在他们的证书年和他们在高需求学校的头四年教学中，改善学生的数学学习。 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，教育和专业支持的全面计划。该项目提供强有力的专业发展服务，包括在整个研究金期限内每年举办暑期班;由学校中经验丰富的模范教师指导新教师;旨在通过使教学职位与附近的高科技行业竞争来吸引和奖励高素质个人的激励制度;以及衡量进展和方案成功的强有力的评价计划。 该项目受益于美国数学全国网络，该网络提供了一个共同的电子研究金申请程序，在发展评价机制方面开展合作，并加强了筹资工作。 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的计划。有一个共同的目的和知识基础设施，团结其教授，研究员，教师和管理人员的结构，数学教育是由两个基本问题指导：“什么是数学，应该教在学校？“和“应该怎么教？" 评估部分的目的不仅是影响对项目结果的理解，而且还阐明有助于教师保留的方案要素，影响教师学习，并揭示有关教师经验的数据，以便与全国范围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.
