CalTeach at Santa Barbara

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。加州大学圣巴巴拉分校（UCSB）数学、生命和物理科学系、加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的Gevirtz教育研究生院（GGSE）、三所地区社区学院（圣巴巴拉城市学院、文图拉社区学院和艾伦汉考克学院）以及圣巴巴拉和文图拉县的七个学区正在合作，为加州的中学培养杰出的中学科学和数学教师。加州大学圣巴巴拉分校（CTSB）通过开设科学和数学教育副修课程，招收STEM专业的学生从事科学和数学教学。该项目将UCSB第五年教师教育计划的科学和数学证书候选人总数增加47%，并通过共享活动建立学生群体，以培养和留住以学生为中心、具有改革意识的科学和数学教师。在五年的时间里，预计将有75个奖学金（每个10,000美元）颁发给成功完成本科学位并被UCSB教师教育计划录取的STEM专业学生。选拔程序倾向于家庭中第一个上大学的学生、双语学生和/或科学和数学教育副修本科毕业生。每年有三个奖学金被指定给社区学院的转校生。奖学金获得者在服务大量经济困难学生和/或英语学习者的学校完成学生教学。他们在指定的、高需求的合作学区履行他们的教学承诺，同时完成一个强化的初级教师入门计划。评估研究正在决定如何最好地满足招聘、教师准备和建立优秀科学和数学教师队伍的计划目标。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(Public Law 111-5).The University of California, Santa Barbara's (UCSB) Division of Mathematical, Life, and Physical Sciences, UCSB's Gevirtz Graduate School of Education (GGSE), three regional community colleges (Santa Barbara City College, Ventura Community College, and Alan Hancock College), and seven school districts in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties are collaborating to prepare exceptional secondary science and mathematics teachers for California's secondary schools. CalTeach at Santa Barbara (CTSB) is recruiting STEM majors into science and math teaching through a new Minor in Science and Mathematics Education. The project is increasing the overall number of science and mathematics credential candidates in UCSB's fifth year Teacher Education Program by 47% and building cohorts of students through shared activities so as to prepare and retain student-centered, reform-minded science and mathematics teachers. An estimated 75 scholarships ($10,000 each) are being awarded over a five year period to STEM majors who have successfully completed their undergraduate degree and been accepted to the UCSB Teacher Education Program. Selection procedures favor students who are the first in their families to attend college, bilingual, and/or graduates of the undergraduate Minor in Science and Mathematics Education. Three scholarships each year are designated for community college transfer students. Scholarship recipients complete their student teaching in schools serving substantial numbers of students who are economically disadvantaged and/or English learners. They fulfill their teaching commitments in designated, high need partnership school districts while completing an enhanced beginning teacher induction program. Evaluation research is determining how best to meet program objectives of recruitment, teacher preparation, and establishment of cohorts of exceptional science and mathematics teachers.
