Theory 2 Practice (T2P) - MU Master Science Teaching and Mentoring Fellows Program

通过这项计划拨款，正在采取步骤，为注重在科学教学中将理论转化为实践的硕士教学研究员项目制定框架。该项目以哥伦比亚地区现有的诺伊斯奖学金项目为基础；预计硕士教学研究员项目将包括许多与奖学金项目相同的合作伙伴，包括哥伦比亚公立学校。规划活动从一项评估调查开始，以便为该方案制定符合当地需要的目标和活动。作为这个计划项目的一部分，一个有意愿、能力和专业知识来支持项目目标的非营利组织正在被确定和招募。目前正在制定科学教学硕士奖学金的教育计划，包括制定招聘策略计划、制定入学要求、确定所有参与者的角色和责任、设计管理结构、规划可持续性以及制定评估计划。这个项目的其他规划活动包括查明大学费用分摊的来源，争取学区支助执行研究员薪金补助，以及评价规划活动本身的进展情况。

Through this planning grant, steps are being taken to develop the framework for a Master Teaching Fellows program that focuses on turning theory into practice in science instruction. This program builds on an existing Noyce scholarship program in the Columbia region; it is anticipated that the Master Teaching Fellows program will include many of the same partners from the scholarship program, including the Columbia Public Schools. The planning activities are beginning with an assessment survey to develop goals and activities for the program that are responsive to local needs. As part of this planning project, a non-profit organization that has the willingness, capacity, and expertise to support the goals of the program is being identified and recruited. The educational program for the Master Science Teaching Fellows is being developed including making plans for recruitment strategies, establishing admission requirements, defining the roles and responsibilities of all participants, designing a management structure, planning for sustainability, and developing an evaluation plan. Other planning activities in this project include identification of sources of university cost share, securing school district support for implementing salary supplements for the Fellows, and evaluating the progress of the planning activities themselves.
