Noyce Physics-Mathematics

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)提供资金的。田纳西中部州立大学基础与应用科学学院将在5年内培养36名新的物理和数学中学教师。学生主修数学或物理，在另一门学科完成30个学期的学习，并获得在田纳西州同时教授这两门学科的资格。学生在由教师教授的基础科学和应用科学课程中获得深厚的内容知识，这些课程是强大的特定学科教育法的典范。传统的课堂管理和教育心理学课程都是由教育部门开设的。从大一开始，职前教师在大师老师和优质课堂导师的指导下，实践动手、探究式教学，学会了探究式实践。精心挑选大师教师和课堂导师，确保职前学生获得对教师职业的严谨和鼓舞人心的介绍。从学生进入该项目的那一刻起，他们就与一位大师老师配对。这种关系在他们的入门阶段一直持续到现在。入职支持包括大师教师的访问，一个分享担忧和寻找有助于他们教学的信息的网站，如教案、潜在的课堂演讲者和实地考察的地点。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The College of Basic and Applied Sciences at Middle Tennessee State University is preparing 36 new physics and mathematics secondary teachers over 5 years. Students major in either math or physics, complete thirty semester hours in the other discipline, and are certified to teach both disciplines in the state of Tennessee. Students receive deep content knowledge in the basic and applied science courses taught by faculty that model strong discipline-specific pedagogy. Traditional classroom management and educational psychology courses are provided by the education department. Starting in their freshman year, the pre-service teachers practice hands-on, inquiry-based teaching under the guidance of master teachers and quality classroom mentors, so they learn to model the practice of inquiry. Careful selection of the master teachers and classroom mentors ensure that the pre-service students receive a rigorous and inspiring introduction to the teaching profession. Students are paired with a master teacher from the moment they enter the program. This relationship continues through their induction period. Induction support includes visits from the master teacher, a website for sharing concerns and finding information that will aid their teaching such as lesson plans, potential classroom speakers, and sites for field trips.
