Fresno State Teaching Fellows (FRESTEF)

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案资助的（公法111-5）。弗雷斯诺州教学研究员（FRESTEF）计划在加州州立大学-弗雷斯诺正在增加高素质的科学和数学教师在中央谷的加州通过全面的设计，要求研究员要么完成文学硕士或科学硕士学位，该课程的目标是，在完成中学教师资格证书要求的同时，提高学生的数学能力，从而在教育学和高级STEM内容之间建立良好的桥梁。该计划的特点是STEM教师通过研究生课程，专业发展研讨会和FRESTEF研究员的指导广泛参与。该计划建立在两个成功的诺伊斯计划的坚实基础上，为研究员提供特殊的计划支持，包括在高需求学校的教学研讨会，在美国能源部实验室的既定计划的夏季研究机会，以及为未来和当前的科学和数学教师提供高质量，以研究为基础的课程的示范性夏季研究所。 该项目正在向18名训练有素的科学和数学教师提供研究金和支助，他们有望成为所在学区的关键榜样和领导者。通过FRESTEF研究员与国家科学数字图书馆（NSDL）/Noyce Commons和新兴的在线社区的广泛参与，研究员计划的产品（包括在线出版物，课程和其他教学资源的形式的贡献）正在加州的整个Noyce社区广泛传播。 合作伙伴包括中央谷科学项目，圣华金谷数学项目，劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室，劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室，美国数学，科学教师和研究人员计划。 学区合作伙伴包括弗雷斯诺、克洛维斯、马德拉县和福勒学区。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The Fresno State Teaching Fellows (FRESTEF) program at California State University-Fresno is increasing the pool of highly qualified science and mathematics teachers in the Central Valley of California through a comprehensive design requiring Fellows to complete either a Master of Arts or Master of Science degree in the sciences or mathematics, in conjunction with completion of requirements for a secondary school teaching credential, thus creating excellent bridges between pedagogy and advanced STEM content. The program features extensive involvement of STEM faculty through instruction in graduate level programs, professional development workshops, and mentoring of FRESTEF Fellows. The program builds upon the strong foundation of two successful Noyce programs by offering special programmatic support for the Fellows, including seminars on teaching in high needs schools, summer research opportunities with established programs at the U.S. Department of Energy Labs, and exemplary summer institutes which provide future and current science and mathematics teachers with high quality, research-based curricula. The project is providing fellowships and support to 18 highly trained science and mathematics teachers who are expected to become key role models and leaders in their school districts. Through extensive involvement of FRESTEF Fellows with the National Science Digital Library (NSDL)/Noyce Commons and emerging on-line community, the products of the Fellows program (including contributions in the form of on-line publications, lessons, and other teaching and learning resources) are being widely disseminated throughout the Noyce community in California. Partners include the Central Valley Science Project, San Joaquin Valley Mathematics Project, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Math for America, and the Science Teacher and Researcher Program. School district partners include Fresno, Clovis, Madera County, and Fowler School Districts.
