Mathematics and Science Master Teacher Initiative

加州州立大学、多明格斯山和城市教育伙伴关系正在合作制定一项规划提案，以创建一个NSF硕士教学奖学金项目，该项目将为洛杉矶和林伍德联合学区的城市学校培养数学和科学硕士教师。这两个地区都是高需求地区，主要招收低收入的有色人种学生。规划过程的目标包括：1）在CSUDH、伙伴关系和学区之间建立伙伴关系; 2）与学区就名师可能发挥的作用达成协议; 3）制定参与项目的书面标准、甄选过程和营销计划; 4）制定名师五年专业发展的书面模式和时间轴; 5）制定项目评估方法; 6）确定非联邦匹配的来源; 7）制定预算，包括成本，研究员人数和财务可行性。 一个由大学教师、科学和数学专家、教师、莱亚代表和其他人组成的多元化规划团队正在开展关键活动，包括：评估地区对名师的需求及其所能发挥的作用;评估可能参与的教师的需求和兴趣;通过研究最佳做法和成功的战略，建立名师的技能概况和适当的培训来源清单该项目包括：与合作伙伴组织和其他方面建立联系;与科学、技术、工程和数学教师、私营和公共部门专业人员建立联系，他们可以为参与者提供量身定制的丰富活动;制定为期五年的名师培训时间轴;制定并签署谅解备忘录，明确合作伙伴和地区的作用和责任;以及确定匹配资金。 该小组正在借鉴成功的战略、研究和与有关专家的协商，为招聘、参与、甄选和评价一个名师项目制定准则。

California State University, Dominguez Hills and the Urban Education Partnership are collaborating on a planning proposal to create an NSF Master Teaching Fellowship project that will develop math and science master teachers for urban schools in the Los Angeles and Lynwood Unified School Districts. Both are high-need districts that enroll primarily low-income students of color. Objectives for the planning process include: 1) establishing partnerships among CSUDH, the Partnership and school districts; 2) reaching an agreement with the school districts about possible roles for master teachers; 3) developing written criteria for participation in the project, a selection process and marketing plan; 4) developing a written model and timeline for five years of professional development for master teachers; 5) developing methods of evaluation for the project; 6) Identifying sources of nonfederal match; and 7) developing a budget that includes costs, number of fellows, and financial feasibility. A diverse planning team of university faculty, science and math specialists, teachers, LEA representatives, and others is conducting key activities including: assessing the districts' need for master teachers and the roles they can fill; assessing the needs and interest of teachers who may participate; creating a skills profile of a master teacher and a list of appropriate sources for training by researching best practices and successful strategies in the partner organizations and others; developing connections with STEM faculty, private and public sector professionals who could provide participants with customized enrichment activities; producing a five-year training timeline for master teachers; developing and signing MOUs that clarify the partners' and districts' roles and responsibilities; and identifying matching funds. The team is drawing on successful strategies, research, and consultation with appropriate experts to develop guidelines for recruitment, participation, selection and evaluation of a master teacher project.
