Full STEM: Creating Dedicated Science and Math Teachers for a Sustainable Future

通过这笔能力建设赠款，奥斯威戈的纽约州立大学学院正在开发必要的手段，以增加其所在地区高需求学校STEM学科的中等教育教师人数。涉及的学区包括：中央广场中央、奥特马尔教区、墨西哥中央、富尔顿市、奥斯威戈市和汉尼拔学区。该项目正在开发以下项目：1)教师培训计划，旨在使STEM专业的学生能够在五年内获得教学硕士学位，并在五年内完成他们的科学专业；2)通过实习和学生教学机会，使STEM专业的学生在学术生涯早期接触到教学可能性；3)其中一些课程的在线版本，以扩大计划的覆盖范围；4)与地区社区大学建立联系，允许转学学生在与四年制校园新生相同的时间框架内完成学位和认证；5)与地方、地区和州立中学和高中建立合作伙伴关系，以安置和支持诺伊斯教师开始他们的职业生涯；6)校园基础设施，以支持拨款分配过程，包括确保奖学金获得者达到计划期望的机制；以及7)稳健的评估程序，以确保罗伯特·诺伊斯奖学金计划的目标得到实现，并为计划改进提供形成性反馈。该项目预计将招收三种类型的学生：纽约州立大学奥斯威戈分校目前主修STEM学科的高年级学生(包括社区学院和技术学院的转校生)，以完成STEM学科的本科学位和教学硕士学位(MST)；那些毕业于STEM学科学位的学生，他们将被录取参加一个快速完成的MST项目，该项目允许在一年内外加一个暑期时间表完成硕士学位；以及那些在职业生涯早期作为STEM专业的学生，他们的经验将使他们能够确定教师职业对他们来说是否是一个合适的选择。智力优势：该项目借鉴了一批公认的文献，以确定怎样才能成为一名有效的STEM教师。它利用各种成功项目的调查结果来开发一种独特的模式，该模式包括面向未来教师的优质教育体验、帮助学生发展创新教学技术的实地经验和指导。广泛影响：该模式有可能被其他拥有强大科学项目和优质教师教育历史的机构轻松使用。文理学院和教育学院之间的互动将对纪律的奉献与强有力和积极的教学方法结合在一起。

Through this Capacity Building Grant the SUNY College at Oswego is developing the means necessary to increase the number of secondary education teachers in the STEM disciplines in high-need schools in their area. The school districts involved include: the Central Square Central , the Altmar-Parish, the Mexico Central, the Fulton City, the Oswego City, and the Hannibal school districts. The project is developing the following: 1) a teacher preparation program designed so that students majoring in STEM disciplines can receive a master's degree in teaching and complete their science major within a five year period; 2) programs that expose STEM majors to teaching possibilities early in their academic careers through internships and student teaching opportunities; 3) online versions of some of these classes to expand the reach of the program; 4) articulations with regional community colleges that allow transfer students to complete their degree and certification within the same timeframe as students who start as freshmen on the four year campus; 5) partnerships with local, regional and state middle schools and high schools to place and support Noyce teachers as they begin their professional careers; 6) a campus infrastructure to support the grant distribution process, including mechanisms for ensuring that scholarship recipients are meeting the expectations of the program; and 7) a robust assessment process that ensures the goals of the Robert Noyce Scholarship Program are being met and that provides formative feedback for program improvement. The project anticipates recruitment of three types of students: upper division students at SUNY Oswego presently majoring in STEM disciplines (including transfer students from community colleges and technical colleges) to complete the undergraduate degree in their STEM discipline and a master's degree in teaching (MST); those who have graduated with a degree in a STEM discipline who will be recruited into a fast-completion MST program that allows for completion of the master's degree within a one year plus one summer timetable; and those students early in their careers as STEM majors who will have experiences that allow them to determine whether a career as a teacher is an appropriate choice for them. Intellectual Merit: The program draws on an established body of literature as to what makes for an effective STEM teacher. It uses the findings from a variety of successful programs to develop a unique model that includes a quality educational experience for future teachers, field experiences and orientations that help students to develop innovative pedagogical techniques.Broader Impact: This model has the potential to be easily used by other institutions with strong science programs and histories of quality teacher education. The interaction between the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Education combines a dedication to discipline with strong and active pedagogy.
