Clark Science-Math Teaching and Education Partnership (C-STEP)

克拉克科学数学教学和教育合作伙伴关系（C-STEP）项目是由克拉克大学与伍斯特公立学校合作领导的第一阶段罗伯特诺伊斯教师奖学金。 该项目为20名生物、化学、数学和物理专业的本科生和研究生提供奖学金或津贴，以成为模范初中和高中教师。 C-STEP从两个库中抽取教师候选人：研究生谁进入艺术教学硕士（MAT）程序已经获得学士学位或担任专业的数学，科学或工程领域和本科生主修生物，化学，物理，或数学谁进入五年文学学士/MAT课程（BA/MAT）。C-STEP的一个独特的重点是邻里-在这方面，教科文组织正在建立一个基于实践社区的模式，利用对大学数学和科学团队的个性化指导和小组支持，努力将这些准备特别充分的教师留在需求很大的学校。 C-STEP跨越了传统的学校-大学-社区边界，通过整合大学数学和科学教师，城市教师教育工作者和教师的专业知识，为强大的课程和教学实践的开发和评估创造了一个协同空间。该计划交织了几个强大的实践和承诺，以建立实践方法的社区：大学的生物，化学，数学和物理系与大学的亚当城市教学和学校实践研究所和希亚特城市教育中心之间建立了强大的机构内伙伴关系;与高需求学区的密切合作（伍斯特公立学校），包括与一组以社区为基础的伙伴学校合作;伙伴学校的数学和科学教师团队共同努力，以发展强大的实践，并作为一个导师库以及一个入门社区;一个密集的为期一年的MAT课程与相应的为期一年的教学实习;一个为期五年的BA/MAT教师准备途径;和一个社区为基础的大学成功的学术计划，为低收入，未来的第一代大学生。

The Clark Science-Math Teaching and Education Partnership (C-STEP) project is a Phase I Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship effort lead by Clark University in partnership with the Worcester Public Schools. The project supports twenty undergraduates and graduate biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics majors with scholarships or stipends toward becoming exemplary middle and high school teachers. The C-STEP draws teacher candidates from two pools: graduate students who enter the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program having already earned a baccalaureate degree or served as a professional in a mathematics, scientific or engineering field and undergraduates majoring in biology, chemistry, physics, or mathematics who enter the five year Bachelor of Arts/MAT program (BA/MAT).A unique focus of C-STEP is the neighborhood-based community of practice model harnessing personalized mentoring and group support on collegial mathematics and science teams in an effort to retain these exceptionally prepared teachers in high-need schools. The C-STEP crosses traditional school-university-neighborhood boundaries to create a synergistic space for the development and assessment of powerful curriculum and teaching practice by integrating the expertise of university mathematics and science faculty, urban teacher educators, and teachers.The program interweaves several strong practices and commitments to build the community of practice approach: a strong intra-institutional partnership between the University departments of biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics and the University's Adam Institute for Urban Teaching and School Practice and Hiatt Center for Urban Education; a close partnership with a high-need school district (Worcester Public Schools), including collaboration with a neighborhood-based set of partner schools; teams of partner school mathematics and science teachers working together to develop strong practice and serving as a pool of mentors as well as an induction community; an intensive one-year MAT program with a corresponding yearlong teaching internship; a five year BA/MAT teacher preparation pathway; and a neighborhood-based college success academic program for low-income, prospective first generation college-goers.
