MOEBIUS-Mathematics_On Education Based Integrated Understanding_Scholars

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。Moebius项目正在通过招聘、准备、安置和帮助留住大洛杉矶地区的数学教师来解决高素质中学数学教师的严重短缺问题。Moebius项目正在将创新课程与有效的支助网络相结合，以增加对教学事业感兴趣的学生的成功，从而增加40名STEM教师。Moebius正在将为该项目开发的三个R框架(严谨性、相关性和保持性)与加州州立大学洛杉矶分校新设立的混合数学教师培训计划相结合，以改善学生的准备和留住。Blend项目将数学本科学位的要求与加州单科教师资格证书的要求结合起来，使学生在相当短的时间内做好准备。The Three R‘s框架通过三个职业发展模块为学生提供未来成功所需的支持。项目结束后，诺伊斯奖学金获得者将被安置在加州最大的学区洛杉矶联合学区的学校。Moebius正在展示这些新方法在教师培训和留任方面的有效性，并为数学教师培训的最佳做法提供了全国模式。此外，Moebius正在通过有效地吸引、招聘、培训和安置来自这一少数族裔服务机构的学生，增加这一高素质教师队伍的多样性。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)The MOEBIUS project is addressing the serious shortage of highly qualified secondary mathematics teachers by recruiting, preparing, placing and helping to retain mathematics teachers in the greater Los Angeles area. The MOEBIUS project is combining an innovative curriculum with an effective support network to increase success of students interested in teaching careers resulting in an additional 40 STEM teachers. MOEBIUS is coupling the Three R's framework (Rigor, Relevance and Retention) developed for this project with the newly established Blended Mathematics Teacher Preparation Program at California State University, Los Angeles to improve the preparation and retention of students. The Blended program is preparing students in a considerably shorter time by combining requirements for the undergraduate degree in mathematics and those of the California Single Subject teaching credential. The Three R's framework is providing students with much needed support for future success via three professional development modules. Upon completion of the program, Noyce scholars are being placed in schools of the Los Angeles Unified School District, the largest school district in California. MOEBIUS is demonstrating the effectiveness of these novel approaches toward teacher preparation and retention, and is providing a national model for best practices in mathematics teacher training. In addition, MOEBIUS is increasing the diversity of this highly qualified teacher workforce by effectively engaging, recruiting, training and placing students from this minority-serving institution.
