This planning project entails a partnership between the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) Colleges of Education & Professional Studies and Mathematics & Science, the non-profit Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF), and the Oklahoma City Public School District (OKCPS) to develop a full Robert Noyce Master Teaching Fellowship (MTF) proposal aimed at strengthening secondary school science instruction in an urban, high-need school district. The goals of the planning project have been chosen so as to develop an integrative and effective MTF proposal based on the successes of two existing programs: the Oklahoma Science Project (OSP), a model for developing teachers' content knowledge and research abilities, and the Urban Teacher Preparation Academy (UTPA), a model professional development program that builds successful strategies for teaching in urban, high-need schools. A planning team composed of representatives from the partner organizations is thus working to merge two different professional development programs with the aim of training Master Teachers so they can provide rigorous, high-quality science instruction in urban, high-need settings. In addition to identification of cost sharing commitments, the team is developing 1) criteria for the recruitment, retention, and mentoring of participants; 2) curricular and laboratory activities specifically designed to guide the professional and leadership development of Master Teachers in urban high-need schools; and 3) effective assessment strategies and other tools to be used in the MTF full proposal. An advisory board consisting of members of each partner institution, as well as an assessment consultant, is monitoring progress towards achieving the goals and objectives of the planning process. Activities of this planning project are based on the premise that peer interactions - teachers teaching teachers - are the most effective mechanisms for improving science instruction, and that urban settings with high-needs student bodies have unique challenges facing teachers that work in urban schools. It follows that Master Teachers who can return to their schools with knowledge, confidence, and leadership skills will be a powerful force for change in urban schools in Oklahoma. This planning process seeks to create such teachers and is synergistic with existing NSF funded grants at UCO that encourage mentoring practices among students and faculty, including STEP, S-STEM and REU programs, all of which support underrepresented groups.

该规划项目需要中央俄克拉荷马州（UCO）教育专业研究和数学科学学院，非营利性俄克拉荷马州医学研究基金会（OMRF）和俄克拉荷马州市公立学区（OKCPS）之间的合作伙伴关系，以开发一个完整的罗伯特诺伊斯硕士教学奖学金（MTF）的建议，旨在加强城市，高需求学区的中学科学教学。规划项目的目标已经选定，以便制定一个综合和有效的MTF建议的成功的两个现有的计划的基础上：俄克拉荷马州科学项目（OSP），发展教师的内容知识和研究能力的模型，和城市教师准备学院（UTPA），一个模型的专业发展计划，建立成功的战略，在城市，高需求的学校教学。因此，由合作伙伴组织代表组成的规划小组正在努力合并两个不同的专业发展计划，旨在培训硕士教师，以便他们能够在城市，高需求的环境中提供严格，高质量的科学教学。除了确定费用分摊承诺外，该小组还在制定：1）参与者的招聘、保留和指导标准; 2）专门为指导城市高需求学校的硕士教师的专业和领导力发展而设计的课程和实验室活动; 3）将在中期工作框架完整提案中使用的有效评估策略和其他工具。一个由每个伙伴机构成员组成的咨询委员会以及一名评估顾问正在监测实现规划进程目标和目的的进展情况。这一规划项目的活动是基于这样一个前提，即同伴互动----教师教教师----是改善科学教学的最有效机制，而且在城市学校工作的教师面临着具有高需求学生群体的城市环境的独特挑战。因此，硕士教师谁可以回到他们的学校的知识，信心和领导技能将是一个强大的力量，改变城市学校在俄克拉荷马州。这一规划过程旨在创建这样的教师，并与UCO现有的NSF资助的赠款协同，鼓励学生和教师之间的指导实践，包括STEP，S-STEM和REU计划，所有这些都支持代表性不足的群体。
