Fullerton Mathematics Teacher and Master Teacher Fellows Project

Fullerton数学教师和硕士教师研究员（FULL MT2）项目汇集了一个合作伙伴关系，服务于加利福尼亚大橙县地区高需求，主要是拉丁裔服务的学区。合作机构包括两个为西班牙裔服务的机构——加州州立大学富勒顿分校（CSUF）和圣安娜学院（SAC）——以及两个学区——阿纳海姆联合高中学区和诺沃克-拉米拉达联合学区——与国家专业教学标准委员会和加州州立大学系统的数学和科学教师倡议合作。该项目正在准备两组10人（共20人）的数学教学研究员和一组10人的数学硕士教学研究员。教学研究员的招聘对象为在SAC完成社区大学学位后转至CSUF的数学专业学生、CSUF及其附近大学的数学专业学生以及具有STEM背景的中期职业转换者，希望成为数学教师。这些教师正在完成数学教学证书和中学教育科学硕士学位，重点是基础数学教学。在导师指导下的学生教学和完成学位后，助教将在入职期间继续与硕士助教和项目领导团队合作两到三年，以继续提高他们的教学效率和领导能力。在此期间，专业发展每季度进行一次，重点是课堂管理、技术使用、课程开发和最佳教学实践。硕士助教将在助教的教学过程中担任导师，两所高等教育机构的教员将监督这一过程。正在支助教学硕士研究员完成国家委员会的作品集，以部分满足国家委员会认证的要求。他们还担任新教师导师、地区和学院/大学联络负责人，并通过一系列专业发展研讨会和指导实践，支持他们发展成为大师教师、教师导师、地区和社区领导以及学院和大学联络人员的技能。来自两所高等教育机构的STEM教师通过研究生水平课程的指导、专业发展和对研究员的指导广泛参与。评估正在研究FULL MT2计划对教师招聘和保留的影响，与未参加该计划的教师相比；教师素质的几个衡量指标，包括教学和内容知识、教学自我效能感和教师学生在标准化评估中的表现；以及教学硕士生获得国家委员会认证的情况。结果和成果由教学研究员和硕士教学研究员以及项目团队在地方、区域和国家会议上以及通过出版场所分享。

The Fullerton Mathematics Teacher and Master Teacher Fellows (FULL MT2) project brings together a partnership serving high-need, primarily Latino-serving school districts in the greater Orange County, California area. Partnering institutions include two Hispanic-serving institutions -- California State University-Fullerton (CSUF) and Santa Ana College (SAC) -- and two school districts -- Anaheim Union High School District and Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District -- in collaboration with the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and the Math and Science Teacher Initiative of the California State University system. The project is preparing two cohorts of ten (20 total) Teaching Fellows in mathematics, and one cohort of ten Master Teaching Fellows with priority given to mathematics. Teaching Fellows are being recruited from among mathematics majors transferring to CSUF upon completing community college degrees at SAC, mathematics majors at CSUF and nearby universities, and mid-career changers with STEM backgrounds seeking to become teachers of mathematics. These Teaching Fellows are completing a teaching credential in mathematics and a Master of Science degree in Secondary Education with an emphasis in Teaching Foundational Mathematics. Following mentored student teaching and completion of the degree, Teaching Fellows continue to work with the Master Teaching Fellows and the project leadership team for two to three years during the induction period, to continue to develop their teaching effectiveness and leadership capacity. During this period, professional development takes place quarterly, and focuses on classroom management, use of technology, curriculum development, and best practices in teaching. Master Teaching Fellows are serving as mentors to the Teaching Fellows during their student teaching, and faculty from both of the higher education institutions are supervising this process. Master Teaching Fellows are being supported to complete National Board portfolios in partial fulfillment of the requirements for National Board Certification. They are also serving as new teacher mentors and district and college/university liaison leaders, and are supported in developing skills as master teachers, teacher mentors, district and community leaders, and college and university liaisons, through a series of professional development workshops and mentored practice. STEM faculty from both higher education institutions are extensively involved through instruction in graduate level programs, professional development, and mentoring of the Fellows. The evaluation is studying the impact of the FULL MT2 program, as compared to teachers not in the program, on the recruitment and retention of teachers; on several measures of teacher quality, including pedagogical and content knowledge, teaching self-efficacy, and the performance of the teachers' students on standardized assessments; and on the Master Teaching Fellows' attainment of National Board Certification. Results and outcomes are being shared by the Teaching Fellows and Master Teaching Fellows, as well as by the project team, at local, regional and national conferences and through publication venues.
