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

通过这项规划拨款，正在采取措施制定硕士教学研究员计划的框架，重点是将理论转化为科学教学的实践。该计划建立在哥伦比亚地区现有的诺伊斯奖学金计划的基础上；预计硕士教学研究员计划将包括许多与奖学金计划相同的合作伙伴，包括哥伦比亚公立学校。规划活动从评估调查开始，以制定响应当地需求的计划目标和活动。作为该规划项目的一部分，正在确定并招募一个有意愿、能力和专业知识来支持该计划目标的非营利组织。科学硕士教学研究员的教育计划正在制定中，包括制定招募策略计划、制定入学要求、定义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。该项目中的其他规划活动包括确定大学费用分摊的来源、确保学区支持为研究员实施工资补贴，以及评估规划活动本身的进度。

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.
