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Noyce学者加入目前的项目。与第一阶段的努力一样，这个后续项目正在从最近的STEM毕业生中汲取灵感。成功的学者获得教学证书和教育或数学硕士学位。为了实现其招聘目标，该项目正在通过增加STEM教师参与克莱蒙特学院数学和科学教育合作（C3MSE）和增加奖学金支持来扩大其在克莱蒙特学院的招聘基地。与德克萨斯南方大学建立了合作关系，以帮助招收非裔美国学生参加该项目。这将补充该项目在吸引拉丁裔学生参加该项目方面已经表现出的良好记录。在程序上，第二阶段的努力是为Noyce学者引入一个课程研究专业发展组件。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加强教学内容知识开发的新策略。该项目保留了为中小学培养数学、生物、化学和物理新教师的兴趣。最后，调查小组正在进行一项纵向研究，以调查有关早期第一阶段和新的第二阶段队列的以下问题：1)哪些因素有助于吸引高质量的STEM毕业生从事教学工作？2)哪些因素有助于留住高质量的STEM毕业生？3)通过职业成功和导师评价来衡量，是什么因素促成了助教的教学成功？与克莱蒙特研究生大学合作的机构有五所克莱蒙特学院：哈维马德学院、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.
