Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC), in partnership with Shawnee Community College (SCC), Massac County USD 1, Murphysboro CUSD 186, and several other high-need school districts in Southern Illinois, is engaged in a planning process to develop a combined Teaching Fellowships/Master Teaching Fellowships program for in-service teachers and STEM professionals committed to teach in rural high-need school districts. Key to the proposed Planning Partnership is the creation of a Fellowship Program targeted at developing highly qualified K-8 teachers at high-need school districts. The Fellowship Program is expected to provide teachers with a deep understanding of science and mathematics content, training and experience in inquiry-based learning methodologies and tools to mount evidence-based curriculum revision through Action Research in their own unique school environments. SCC is a key link in this partnership as most students at SCC attended the partner school districts and transfer to SIUC to complete their undergraduate degree. Twenty-five to thirty (25-30) teachers and administrators from 10 or more rural high-need school districts in Southern Illinois are participating in the planning meetings and assisting with needs assessments. A critical goal of the proposed Planning Partnership is to develop a framework for an innovative Teacher Fellowships/Master Teaching Fellowships program that will provide increased mathematics and science content and pedagogical knowledge and improved instructional leadership skills for K-8 in-service teachers and for STEM professionals who desire to pursue certification and teach in rural high-need schools. The Planning Partnership is identifying professional development needs for teachers and leading to the development of a framework for a Fellowship Program for K-8 teachers in high-need schools.

南伊利诺伊大学卡本代尔分校 (SIUC) 与肖尼社区学院 (SCC)、马萨克县 USD 1、墨菲斯伯勒 CUSD 186 以及南伊利诺伊州其他几个高需求学区合作，正在制定一项规划，为致力于在农村高需求学区教学的在职教师和 STEM 专业人士制定综合教学奖学金/硕士教学奖学金计划。拟议规划伙伴关系的关键是创建一项奖学金计划，旨在在高需求学区培养高素质的 K-8 教师。该奖学金计划旨在为教师提供对科学和数学内容的深入理解、基于探究的学习方法和工具的培训和经验，以便在他们自己独特的学校环境中通过行动研究进行基于证据的课程修订。 SCC 是这一合作伙伴关系中的关键环节，因为 SCC 的大多数学生就读于合作伙伴学区，然后转学到 SIUC 完成本科学位。来自伊利诺伊州南部 10 个或更多农村高需求学区的二十五至三十 (25-30) 名教师和管理人员正在参加规划会议并协助需求评估。拟议的规划伙伴关系的一个关键目标是为创新的教师奖学金/硕士教学奖学金计划制定一个框架，该计划将为 K-8 在职教师和希望获得认证并在农村高需求学校任教的 STEM 专业人士提供更多的数学和科学内容以及教学知识，并提高教学领导技能。规划合作伙伴关系正在确定教师的专业发展需求，并为高需求学校的 K-8 教师制定奖学金计划框架。
