Robert Noyce Mathematics and Science Teacher (MaST) Scholars Program

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。约克学院的Robert Noyce数学和科学教师（MaST）学者第一阶段计划解决了纽约市学校对高素质中学数学和科学教师的迫切需求。因此，该项目的主要目标是通过有针对性的财政和学术支持，为这些高需求的城市学校培养50名高素质教师。该项目由约克学院科学、数学和教师教育部门的教师组成的团队与四所合作社区学院的代表合作实施，这四所社区学院是：曼哈顿社区学院、布朗克斯社区学院、拉瓜迪亚社区学院和纽约城市大学的昆斯伯勒社区学院。另一个合作伙伴是纽约市教育局。来自约克大学和合作社区学院的学者正在被招募，所有这些学院都为代表性不足的群体提供服务。对于约克学院准备成为教师的学生来说，最重要的经济负担来自学生教学期间，这往往需要他们退出全职工作。因此，奖学金的重点是在这一年的经济支持，从新生后的夏天到第二年的教学中提供学术支持和发展项目。学术支持计划包括三个关键阶段：1)让潜在的学者参与教师探索者暑期项目；2)在学者完成大学教育和教师准备项目期间为他们提供支持和发展；3)在教师入职的头两年为他们提供专业发展和支持。MaST项目还包括STEM和教师教育研究方面的学者和教师：作为广泛的实地经验的一部分，学者们为代表性不足的城市学生创建了基于研究的课程，并在研究自己作为新兴教师的发展过程中充当主题和合作者。除了为城市高需求地区增加高素质科学和数学教师的数量，并努力提高这些教师在城市学校的留用率外，该项目还为支持科学和数学中等教育的方法的知识库做出了贡献。该计划和相关研究的结果正在通过期刊、会议和网站传播。此外，这些学者和新教师还在各自的学习社区以及通过自己的出版物和演讲分享他们的研究成果。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The Robert Noyce Mathematics and Science Teachers (MaST) Scholars Phase 1 program at York College addresses the critical need for highly qualified secondary mathematics and science teachers in New York City schools. The primary objective of this program is thus the development of 50 highly qualified teachers for these high-need urban schools, through targeted financial and academic support. The program is being implemented by a team of faculty from the science, mathematics, and teacher education departments at York College, in collaboration with representatives of four partnering community colleges: Borough of Manhattan Community College, Bronx Community College, LaGuardia Community College, and Queensborough Community College of the City University of New York. An additional partner is the New York City Department of Education. Scholars are being recruited from York and the partnering community colleges, all of which serve underrepresented groups.For York College students preparing to be teachers, the most significant financial burden comes during student teaching, which often necessitates their withdrawal from full time employment. Thus, the scholarships focus on financial support during this year, with academic support and development programs being provided from the post-freshman summer through the second year of teaching. The academic support program includes three critical phases: 1) engagement of potential Scholars in a Teacher Explorer summer program, 2) support and development of the Scholars during the completion of their college education and teacher preparation program, and 3) professional development and support of teachers during their first two years in the classroom. The MaST program also involves Scholars and faculty in both STEM and teacher education research: as part of extensive field experiences, the Scholars create research-based curriculum for underrepresented urban students, and serve as both subjects and collaborators in the research about the development of themselves as emerging teachers. As well as serving to increase the number of highly qualified science and mathematics teachers for urban, high-needs districts, and striving to improve the retention of these teachers in urban schools, the program is contributing to the knowledge base concerning ways to support science and mathematics secondary education. Results of the program and related research are being disseminated through journals, conferences, and websites. The Scholars and new teachers in addition share results of their research within their learning communities and through their own publications and presentations.
