The Science Teachers Acquired through New Directions in New Mexico (STAND-NM)

通过新墨西哥州新方向学院获得的理科教师，斯坦福大学正在招聘21名物理、化学、生物和地球科学专业的本科生进入中级理科教学专业。STAND-NM为致力于STEM学生成功的科学和教育教师提供了一个合作和参与的场所，改善了这些教师的准备工作，为初任科学教师提供专业发展和科学入门支持，并改善了中学科学教师的教学知识。高素质的教师从这个项目毕业，在教学内容和教学知识方面都有非常坚实的基础。鉴于新墨西哥州立大学所处的独特和多样化的环境，21名诺伊斯奖学金获得者被提供了许多机会来教授高需求地区的各种学生，诺伊斯奖学金获得者是从代表不足的群体中招募的，包括西班牙裔、印第安人、非裔美国人和女性。通过教育研究，该计划还增加了一批职前教师对科学教师教学教学知识发展的了解和理解，这些教师在教学准备之前就已经获得了大部分教学知识。通过跟踪这些教师进入其教学生涯的早期，我们正在获得对教学内容知识发展的更全面的理解。

Science Teachers Acquired Through New Direction in New Mexico, STAND-NM, is recruiting 21 undergraduate Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Earth Science majors into the secondary science teaching profession. The STAND-NM is providing a venue for collaboration and involvement of science and education faculty invested in the success of the STEM students that is improving the preparation of these teachers, providing professional development and science-specific induction support for beginning science teachers, and improving the pedagogical content knowledge of secondary science teachers. Highly qualified teachers are graduating from this program with a very strong foundation in both content and pedagogical knowledge. Given the unique and diverse environment New Mexico State University is situated in, the 21 Noyce Scholars are being provided with many opportunities to teach a diverse range of students in high-need areas and the Noyce Scholars are being recruited from under-represented groups, including Hispanics, Native Americans, African Americans, and women. Through education research this program is also adding to the knowledge and understanding of the development of science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge in a population of pre-service teachers who have received the majority of their content knowledge before their pedagogical preparation. A fuller understanding of the development of pedagogical content knowledge is being gained by following these teachers into the early years of their teaching careers.
