STEM for Education (STEM-E) Scholarship Program

罗格斯大学的STEM教育（STEM- e）奖学金项目的目标是招募、留住和维持一个致力于在高需求学区教学的工程师和物理学家社区。智力价值包含在“STEM for Humanity”的总体主题中，该计划(1)将物理和工程本科课程与现有的研究生物理和数学教师准备课程相结合，(2)加强对高需求地区学生物理和数学教学的关注，(3)包括在职教师和在职教师之间的电子指导网络，以及(4)注入说明STEM对社会影响的研讨会。15名STEM- e学者正准备毕业，准备在高需求的K-12数学和科学教室任教，他们具有强大的教学内容知识和对STEM专业人员重要性的深刻理解。此外，该计划提供长期持续的专业发展，以确保新教师的成功。STEM-E学者将成为全国教育变革的主要推动者，服务于高需求的学区，成为高素质的数学和科学教师，将工程融入数学和物理课程，从而产生更广泛的影响。混合方法评估计划包括对项目目标和组成部分的形成性和总结性评估。研究结果通过项目网站和会议报告发布。

The goal of the STEM for Education (STEM-E) Scholarship Program at Rutgers University is to recruit, retain, and maintain a community of engineers and physicists who are dedicated to teaching in high-needs school districts. Intellectual Merit is encompassed in an overarching theme of "STEM for Humanity" and the program (1) blends the physics and engineering undergraduate programs with the existing graduate physics and mathematics teacher preparation programs, (2) strengthens the focus on teaching physics and mathematics to students in high-needs districts, (3) includes an e-mentoring network between pre- and in-service teachers, and (4) infuses seminars that illustrate the impact of STEM on society. Fifteen STEM-E scholars are being prepared to graduate ready to teach in high-needs K-12 math and science classrooms with strong pedagogical content knowledge and deep understanding of the importance of STEM professionals. Additionally, the program offers long-term continuing professional development to ensure the success of new teachers. Broader Impacts are achieved in that STEM-E scholars will be the nation's leading educational change agents serving in high-need school districts as highly qualified math and science teachers who integrate engineering into their math and physics courses. A mixed-method evaluation plan includes formative and summative assessment of program goals and components. Results are disseminated through the program's website and presentations at conferences.
