Collaboration for Excellence in Science and Math Education (CESAME)

阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB）、劳森州立社区学院和伯明翰城市学校正在合作，以大大提高科学和数学专业的学生进入高需求学校的中等教育职业，在他们大学课程的形成阶段向STEM专业的学生介绍教育机会，并通过学术和实践经验项目提供支持。正在测试的两种模式是：1)一个多年的项目，招收新生，并为大三、大四和五年级的学生提供奖学金；2)一个为期一年的项目，面向拥有STEM本科学位的学生。每个项目招收20名学生作为奖学金获得者，并获得硕士学位。学生在大一期间作为UAB的辅导员进入该项目。为中学生开设的夏季科学学院。有25个潜在的奖学金候选人促进这些暑期项目，从中选出40名奖学金获得者。在他们最初的3年教学中，每个诺伊斯毕业生都被分配到一个社区外展发展中心（CORD） STEM专家，以确保他们得到UAB教师和导师的适当支持。学习资源实验室为教师提供了一个在需要的基础上获得指导和支持的地方。科学和数学教育卓越合作的智力价值（CESAME）包括测试一种创新方法的设计、资源和性能，以招募有前途的STEM学生成为变革性的中等STEM教育领导者。更广泛的影响是40名优秀的STEM教师，他们计划成为服务不足的学校的教师，以及一个提供高素质STEM教师的持续平台。

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Lawson State Community College and Birmingham City Schools are partnering to greatly enhance the entry of science and math majors into careers in secondary education in high needs schools, introducing STEM majors to education opportunities during the formative stage of their college programs and providing support through a program of academic and practical experiences. Two models being tested are: 1) a multi-year program, engaging freshmen and providing scholarships for junior, senior and 5th year students and 2) a one-year program for students with a STEM undergraduate degree. Each program is enrolling 20 students as scholarship recipients, and leads to a Master degree. Students enter the program during their freshman year as facilitators in UAB?s Summer Science Institute for secondary students. There are 25 potential scholarship candidates facilitating these summer programs, from which the 40 scholarship recipients are chosen. During their initial 3 years of teaching, each Noyce graduate is assigned a Center for Community OutReach Development (CORD) STEM specialist to insure that they receive appropriate support by UAB faculty and mentor teachers. A Learning Resource Lab provides a place for teachers to come for guidance and support on an as-needed basis. The Intellectual Merit of Collaboration for Excellence in Science and Math Education (CESAME) includes the testing of the design, resources and performance of an innovative method to recruit promising STEM students to be transformative secondary STEM education leaders. The Broader Impacts are in the 40 excellent STEM teachers who plan to be teachers in underserved schools and a sustained platform to supply highly qualified STEM teachers.
