The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and its independent school district (ISD) and community college partners is providing scholarship support to fifty-four individuals preparing to become certified science or mathematics teachers. Partners include Dallas, Arlington, Fort Worth, and Hurst-Euless Bedford ISDs, and Tarrant County College (TCC). The project is recruiting both career changers who already hold STEM baccalaureate degrees, as well as undergraduate students in their junior and senior years of STEM degree programs. The project provides a program of campus courses, online mentoring, and classroom teaching experiences to certify the new science and mathematics teachers for the four school districts. Program objectives include: 1) recruitment of mathematics and science teacher candidates from baccalaureate programs, community colleges, and career changers from local industry, 2) providing a quality two-track teacher certification program for candidates, and 3) induction, monitoring, and mentoring of candidates through the program and their early years of teaching. This project focuses on the development of secondary life science, earth science, and middle-level (grades 4-8) science and mathematics teachers, which complements an earlier focus on teachers of mathematics and the physical sciences.UT Arlington brings to this work a comprehensive STEM teacher candidate recruiting program already in place through support of the newly funded U-Teach replication grant. The project employs best practices of the UTA NCATE-accredited certification program. The project specifically targets minority students in baccalaureate programs, as well as career changer pools. In addition, in order to achieve its goals related to addressing the urgent need for exceptionally qualified teachers who can provide outstanding science and mathematics learning experiences for the largely disadvantaged, urban secondary school students, the partnership is: --Expanding its existing website for the program to provide candidates with access to resources and help them become members of a community of learners, particularly during their induction period; --Forming and supporting cohort groups led by UTA Education and Science faculty and link candidates with Mentor Teachers to guide field experiences and induction, and provide continued teaching support; --Introducing undergraduate candidates to teaching by placing them in partner school districts with Mentor Teachers for extensive field experiences from the beginning and throughout their programs; --Engaging candidates in standards-based inquiry teaching, problem-based teaching experiences, action research, curriculum development, and reflective practice, and in the sharing of findings, curricula, and reflections via website postings, online interactions, and professional-style presentations;--Providing two years of scholarships for baccalaureate students and a one-year stipend for career change candidates to complete their teacher certification program; --Implementing an evaluation plan that assesses the project's effectiveness in recruiting, preparing, and retaining teacher candidates, and that facilitates tracking of scholarship/stipend recipients as they fulfill their teaching obligation in the urban school districts; and --Disseminating findings and best practices of this project through research, and scholarly publications and presentations at professional conferences.

德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校（UTA）及其独立学区（ISD）和社区学院合作伙伴正在为54名准备成为认证科学或数学教师的个人提供奖学金支持。合作伙伴包括达拉斯、阿灵顿、沃斯堡和赫斯特-尤勒斯贝德福德的ISDs和塔兰特县学院（TCC）。该项目正在招募已经拥有STEM学士学位的职业转换者，以及STEM学位课程的大三和大四的本科生。 该项目提供了一个校园课程，在线辅导和课堂教学经验的计划，以认证四个学区的新科学和数学教师。方案目标包括：1）从学士学位课程，社区学院和当地行业的职业转换者中招募数学和科学教师候选人，2）为候选人提供优质的双轨教师认证计划，以及3）通过该计划和他们早年的教学来引导，监督和指导候选人。 该项目的重点是中学生命科学，地球科学和中级（4-8年级）科学和数学教师的发展，这补充了早期对数学和物理科学教师的关注。UT阿灵顿带来了这项工作的综合STEM教师候选人招聘计划已经到位，通过新资助的U-Teach复制赠款的支持。 该项目采用了UTA NCATE认证的认证计划的最佳实践。 该项目专门针对少数民族学生在学士学位课程，以及职业改变池。 此外，为了实现与满足对特别合格的教师的迫切需求有关的目标，这些教师能够为大多数处境不利的城市中学生提供出色的科学和数学学习经验，伙伴关系是：--扩展该计划的现有网站，为候选人提供资源访问权限，并帮助他们成为学习者社区的成员，特别是在他们的入职期间; -形成和支持由UTA教育和科学教师领导的队列组，并将候选人与导师教师联系起来，以指导实地经验和入职，并提供持续的教学支持;--通过将本科生与导师教师一起安排在合作学区，从一开始就将他们引入教学，以获得广泛的实地经验他们的节目;--让候选人参与基于标准的探究教学、基于问题的教学经验、行动研究、课程开发和反思实践，并通过网站发布、在线互动和专业风格的演示来分享研究结果、课程和反思;--为学士学位学生提供两年的奖学金，为职业转换候选人提供一年的津贴，以完成他们的教师认证课程;--实施一项评估计划，评估该项目在招聘、准备和留住教师候选人方面的有效性，并促进跟踪奖学金/津贴获得者在城市学区履行教学义务的情况;以及--通过研究、学术出版物和专业会议上的演讲，传播该项目的研究结果和最佳做法。
