This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(Public Law 111-5).The Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) NSF Master Teaching Fellowship Program is aligning, coordinating, and integrating resources across the College of Education, College of Basic and Applied Sciences, STEM Industry Partners, non-profit partners (the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce and Mind2Marketplace), and 6 high needs P-12 school districts (DeKalb, Grundy, Lewis, Lawrence, and Rutherford Counties and Tullahoma City) to select and support the development of 14 master teachers to become MTSU NSF Master Teaching Fellows. While these master teachers already possess the requisite criteria to be considered master teachers, their effect on their school and district is being transformed through their development and empowerment into a professional learning community of Master Teaching Fellows (MTFs), leading educational transformation across all STEM disciplines in high-needs schools. The 14 master teachers are assessed via a series of content, pedagogy, pedagogical content knowledge, STEM workforce development skills, and educational leadership instruments. Based on the data from these pre-assessments, the Master Teaching Fellows participate in a collaborative inquiry development process that generates an annual Master Teaching Fellow Enhancement Plan (MTF-EP). The project is supporting each MTF with an annual $10,000 salary supplement/stipend for five years. Additionally, the MTFs are supported with a team of content, pedagogy, and leadership mentors from MTSU as well as a district administrative partner and a STEM Industry partner as they take on an instructional leadership role in their school and district. The common transformative element of the program is the annual lesson design / action research project. All Master Teaching Fellows develop and implement a lesson design / action research project each year and present their findings to colleagues, administrators, and regional and/or national conference audiences. Through the consistent and regular participation of teachers, administrators, STEM industry partners and university faculty, the project is seeking to institutionalize lesson design / action research as a sustained element within the school districts' school improvement and professional development programs.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案资助的（公法111-5）。中田纳西州立大学（MTSU）NSF硕士教学奖学金计划正在调整，协调和整合教育学院，基础和应用科学学院，STEM行业合作伙伴，非营利合作伙伴（卢瑟福县商会和Mind 2 Marketplace）和6个高需求P-12学区（DeKalb，格伦迪，刘易斯，劳伦斯，和卢瑟福县和塔尔伯特市）选择和支持14名大师教师的发展，成为MTSU NSF大师教学研究员。 虽然这些大师教师已经具备了被视为大师教师的必要标准，但他们对学校和地区的影响正在通过他们的发展和赋权转变为一个由大师教学研究员（MTF）组成的专业学习社区，在高需求学校的所有STEM学科中引领教育转型。通过一系列内容，教学法，教学内容知识，STEM劳动力发展技能和教育领导工具对14名教师进行评估。根据这些预评估的数据，硕士教学研究员参与协作探究开发过程，生成年度硕士教学研究员增强计划（MTF-EP）。该项目每年为每个中期工作队提供10 000美元的薪金补贴/津贴，为期五年。此外，MTFs还得到了MTSU的内容，教学法和领导导师团队以及地区行政合作伙伴和STEM行业合作伙伴的支持，因为他们在学校和地区担任教学领导角色。 该计划的共同变革元素是年度课程设计/行动研究项目。所有硕士教学研究员每年开发和实施一个课程设计/行动研究项目，并向同事，管理人员以及区域和/或国家会议观众展示他们的研究结果。通过教师、管理人员、STEM行业合作伙伴和大学教师的持续和定期参与，该项目正在寻求将课程设计/行动研究制度化，作为学区学校改进和专业发展计划中的一个持续要素。
