Partners for this Track 1 project to produce 41 high school mathematics teachers include Virginia State University (VSU) as the lead institution, three community colleges (John Tyler and J. Sargeant Reynolds Community Colleges and Richard Bland Junior College) and two school districts (Petersburg and Chesterfield County Public Schools). Their overall goal is to recruit, prepare and sustain teachers, from underserved populations, who are capable of creating professional, positive, research-informed, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) responsive, technologically-intensive and effective mathematics learning environments for all students.The Scholars are being recruited from three specific populations: (1) VSU's current STEM majors, (2) students pursuing certificates or degrees in STEM-related disciplines at the partnering two-year community colleges, and (3) juniors and seniors at local high schools. As a recruiting tool, summer internships are being offered to 100 freshman and sophomore students from both VSU and the cooperating community colleges. The internship includes, among other activities: (1) a three credit mathematics course; (2) reinforcement of mathematics skills; (3) introduction to web technology; and (4) an overview of STEM careers. The program for the scholars emphasizes community building and includes: (1) faculty and peer mentoring; (2) preparation for all requirements of secondary licensure, including the Praxis; (3) resume writing and interviewing skills; (4) an introduction to useful technology and grant writing; (5) participation in professional organizations and meetings; and (6) team building. Support for the Scholars during their first three years of teaching, includes: (1) a Mentor /Scholar Teacher Professional Community comprised of new teachers, mentors and faculty at VSU and the partnering community colleges designed to provide individual, group, and internet housed contact among the participants; (2) summer mini-workshops involving current and past Scholars, exemplary mathematics high school teachers, and VSU and partnering community college faculty that focus on effective pedagogy, problem solving, diversity preparation, technology, and classroom management; and (3) a funded one credit-hour hybrid course.Intellectual Merit: Information from the research-based evaluation of the project will be widely disseminated through contacts in the state and through presentations at professional organizations.Broader Impact: The nature of the student population at the institutions involved and the emphasis of the program on service at underserved schools insures creation of a diverse effective set of secondary mathematics teachers throughout the schools served by this project.

这个轨道1项目的合作伙伴，以产生41名高中数学教师，包括弗吉尼亚州立大学（VSU）作为牵头机构，三个社区学院（约翰泰勒和J.萨金特雷诺兹社区学院和理查德布兰德初级学院）和两个学区（彼得堡和切斯特菲尔德县公立学校）。 他们的总体目标是从服务不足的人群中招募，准备和维持教师，他们能够创造专业，积极，研究知情，STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）为所有学生提供反应灵敏、技术密集和有效的数学学习环境。学者们从三个特定人群中招募：（1）VSU目前的STEM专业，（2）在合作的两年制社区学院攻读STEM相关学科证书或学位的学生，以及（3）当地高中的大三和大四学生。 作为一种招聘工具，正在向VSU和合作社区学院的100名大一和大二学生提供暑期实习机会。 实习包括，除其他活动外：（1）三学分数学课程;（2）数学技能的强化;（3）介绍网络技术;和（4）干职业的概述。 该计划的学者强调社区建设，包括：（1）教师和同行指导;（2）准备二级执照的所有要求，包括实践;（3）简历写作和面试技巧;（4）介绍有用的技术和赠款写作;（5）参加专业组织和会议;和（6）团队建设。在他们的头三年的教学，支持学者，包括：（1）导师/学者教师专业社区组成的新教师，导师和教师在VSU和合作社区学院，旨在提供个人，团体和互联网之间的参与者居住的联系;（2）夏季小型研讨会，涉及现任和前任学者，模范数学高中教师，VSU和合作社区大学教师，重点是有效的教学法，解决问题，多样性准备，技术和课堂管理;和（3）资助的一个学分小时的混合课程。智力优势：从研究为基础的评估项目的信息将通过在国家的联系，并通过在专业组织的演示文稿广泛传播。参与机构的学生群体的性质以及该计划对服务不足学校的服务的强调确保了创造一套多样化的有效的中学数学教师在这个项目所服务的所有学校。
