(99) The Teaching Pipeline for STEM project creates, implements, and evaluates two new degree programs to facilitate the entry of many more STEM majors into careers in K-12 teaching. The project describes new minors in science education and mathematics education; degrees designed to complement the deep discipline training that upper division courses provide. The new programs provide 40students/year over three years from the Life and Physical Sciences or Engineering with an opportunity to explore science or math teaching through seminars and internships at local secondary schools. Individual projects in the capstone courses of the minors bring these students into collaboration with UCLA faculty and secondary school science and math professionals, teachers of the discipline. By embedding these interdisciplinary minors within the fabric of the science and mathematics departments, the project increases the visibility and value of teaching careers within the research-intensive university environment. Collaboration with faculty on other campuses with large graduate teacher education programs will establish new and flexible pathways and options for UCLA students to move into credential programs. The evaluation plan uses baseline data collected to evaluate the change in the attitudes towards and the valuing of the K-12 education profession in the natural sciences at a research-intensive university resulting from the infusion of the programs in the departments. The project serves as a national model for increasing the number of highly qualified STEM students who enter teaching careers.

(99)STEM教学管道项目创建、实施和评估两个新的学位项目，以促进更多STEM专业的学生进入K-12教学行业。该项目描述了科学教育和数学教育方面的新未成年人；这些学位旨在补充高年级课程提供的深度学科培训。这些新项目在三年的时间里为40名生命和物理科学或工程专业的学生提供了一个通过研讨会和在当地中学实习来探索科学或数学教学的机会。未成年人顶尖课程中的个别项目使这些学生与加州大学洛杉矶分校的教职员工、中学科学和数学专业人员以及该学科的教师合作。通过将这些跨学科的未成年人纳入科学系和数学系的结构中，该项目增加了在研究密集型大学环境中教师职业的可见度和价值。与拥有大型研究生教师教育项目的其他校区的教师合作，将为加州大学洛杉矶分校的学生建立新的灵活的途径和选择，进入证书课程。评估计划使用收集的基线数据来评估由于各系课程的注入，一所研究密集型大学对K-12自然科学教育专业的态度和重视程度的变化。该项目是增加进入教师职业生涯的高素质STEM学生数量的全国典范。
