This capacity building project is laying the foundation for a Learning Assistant (LA) program to attract talented STEM undergraduates to careers in secondary education. The LA program, developed at the University of Colorado-Boulder, combines classroom teaching experience, directed faculty mentorship, and formal instruction on the science of how people learn to dramatically increase student interest in secondary teaching careers. This project is taking a comprehensive approach: attracting undergraduate STEM majors at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), providing a path, Tech2Teach, through Nazareth College of Rochester to certification in secondary education, and developing connections with existing high school teacher groups to provide continuing support. The project has three specific goals1. to educate and facilitate faculty development through peer group targeted workshops,2. to develop critical infrastructure, including online resources and a new course on pedagogy, and implement an LA program, and3. to extend and enhance existing collaborations with Nazareth College's School of Education (Tech2Teach) and the local Rochester Area Physics Teacher Out-Reach (RAPTOR).The broad impact of this project lies in the large number of faculty and students directly affected by the proposed activities. The physics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics departments at RIT currently include 136 faculty and 853 undergraduate majors. Through an innovative social network analysis approach that identifies teaching peer groups, the project is involving more than 70 faculty in development workshops and seminars to prepare them to mentor students in the LA program. Deep support from all involved departments is enabling the project to reach more than 400 students, educating them about the possibilities of a career in secondary education. In the second year, an LA program will be initiated that will pair 16 students with faculty mentors in classes that affect up to 500 students in STEM classes.

该能力建设项目为学习助理（LA）计划奠定了基础，以吸引有才华的STEM大学生进入中学教育的职业。在科罗拉多大学 - 博尔德大学开发的洛杉矶计划结合了课堂教学经验，指导教师指导以及有关人们如何显着增加学生对中学教学职业的兴趣的科学的正式教学。该项目正在采用一种全面的方法：在罗切斯特理工学院（RIT）吸引本科生的专业，通过罗切斯特的拿撒勒斯学院提供一条道路，Tech2Teach，获得中学教育认证，并与现有的高中教师团体建立联系，以提供持续的支持。该项目有三个特定的目标1。通过同行小组针对的研讨会教育和促进教师发展，2。开发关键的基础架构，包括在线资源和有关教学法的新课程，并实施洛杉矶计划和3。为了扩展和加强与拿撒勒学院教育学院（Tech2Teach）和当地罗切斯特地区物理教师外部教师（RAPTOR）的现有合作。该项目的广泛影响在于大量的教职员工和直接受拟议活动影响的学生。 RIT的物理，生物学，化学和数学部门目前包括136名教职员工和853名本科专业。通过一种创新的社交网络分析方法，该方法确定了教学群体，该项目涉及开发研讨会和研讨会中的70多名教师，以准备他们在洛杉矶计划中指导学生。所有相关部门的深厚支持是使该项目能够吸引400多名学生，并向他们教育中学教育的可能性。在第二年，将启动一项洛杉矶计划，该计划将在课堂上与16名学生与教师导师相吻合，这些课程影响了STEM课程多达500名学生。
