Claremont Colleges Collaborative for Mathematics and Science Education: Phase II Noyce Project

在这个第二阶段的项目中，PI团队正在招募40名新的诺伊斯学者加入其当前的计划。与第一阶段的努力一样，这个后续项目是从最近毕业的STEM毕业生中挑选出来的。成功的学者既获得了教师资格证书，又获得了教育或数学专业的硕士学位。为了实现其招聘目标，该项目正在通过增加STEM教员对克莱蒙特学院数学与科学教育合作(C3MSE)的参与和增加奖学金支持，扩大其在克莱蒙特学院的招聘基础。与德克萨斯南方大学已经建立了合作伙伴关系，以帮助招收非洲裔美国学生参加该项目。这将是对该项目在吸引拉美裔学生方面已经表现出的强劲记录的补充。在程序上，第二阶段的工作是为诺伊斯学者引入一个课程研究专业发展部分。与此同时，对现有教师教育课程的修订也引入了课程研究实践和新战略，以加强教学内容知识的发展。该项目保留了为中学和中学培养数学、生物、化学和物理新教师的兴趣。最后，调查组正在进行一项纵向研究，以考察关于早期第一阶段和新第二阶段队列的以下问题：1)哪些因素有助于吸引优质STEM毕业生投身教学？2)哪些因素有助于留住优质STEM毕业生从事教学？3)通过职业成功和主管评价来衡量研究员的教学成功的因素是什么？与克莱蒙特研究生院合作的机构是克莱蒙特的五所学院：哈维·穆德学院、克莱蒙特·麦肯纳学院、皮策学院、斯克里普斯学院和波莫纳学院。

In this Phase II project the PI team is recruiting forty new Noyce Scholars into its current program. As with its Phase I effort, this follow-on program is drawing from the pool of recent STEM graduates. Successful Scholars earn both a teaching credential and an MA in Education or Mathematics. To meet its recruitment goals the project is expanding its recruiting base throughout the Claremont Colleges by increasing STEM faculty participation in the Claremont College Collaborative for Mathematics and Science Education (C3MSE) and increasing fellowship support. A partnership with Texas Southern University has been established to help recruit African-American students to the program. This would complement the already strong record the project has demonstrated in attracting Latino students to the program. Programmatically, the Phase II effort is introducing a Lesson Study professional development component for the Noyce Scholars. At the same time revisions to the existing teacher education curriculum are also bringing in Lesson Study practices and new strategies to strengthen the development of pedagogical content knowledge. The project retains its interest in producing new teachers for both middle and secondary schools in mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics. Finally, the investigating team is conducting a longitudinal study to examine the following questions regarding the earlier Phase I and new Phase II cohorts: 1) What factors contribute to attracting high quality STEM graduates into teaching? 2) What factors contribute to retaining high quality STEM graduates in teaching? and 3) What factors contribute to the teaching success of fellows, as measured through career success and supervisor evaluation? Institutions collaborating with Claremont Graduate University are the five Claremont Colleges: Harvey Mudd College, Claremont McKenna College, Pitzer College, Scripps College, and Pomona College.
