Michigan State University is implementing an NSF Teaching Fellowships and Master Teaching Fellowship Project called "MSU SETS-UP: Supporting Early-Career Teachers of Science through Urban Partnerships." Intensive class- and field-based experiences during the first summer prepare the 20 Teaching Fellows for a year-long urban residency in four partner school districts Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Jackson. Working with United Way of Southeast Michigan, Fellows learn strategies for supporting neighborhood schools and how United Way works with families and teachers to improve the quality of life in schools. Some key support features of this project include face-to-face coaching by experienced science teachers, face-to-face and virtual mentoring by former MSU Noyce Scholars from a previous award, MSU Woodrow Wilson Fellows, and Knowles Foundation Science Teaching Fellows, workshops, on-line resources coupled with and extending from these workshops, interviews, journal exchanges, and check-ins. This project enables Fellows to share their deep knowledge and skills focused on teaching reform-based and context-responsive ways in high-need schools throughout the state of Michigan and beyond. The Fellowships are also expected to increase the number of STEM teachers with strong content knowledge and a strong commitment to teaching students with the greatest need. In addition, what is learned about how to effectively prepare individuals for teaching in high-need settings and in supporting early-career teachers at a distance from the university has an impact on the design of more traditional teacher preparation programs at MSU and more broadly. Lastly, this initiative, combined with others recently undertaken at MSU, are expected to increase the number of under-represented (women and minority) scholars who enter the STEM teaching corps and choose to teach in high-need settings.

密歇根州立大学正在实施一个名为“MSU设置：通过城市伙伴关系支持早期职业科学教师”的NSF教学奖学金和硕士教学奖学金项目。“在第一个夏天密集的课堂和实地经验准备20教学研究员在四个合作学区底特律，大急流城，兰辛，和杰克逊为期一年的城市居住。与密歇根州东南部的联合之路合作，研究员学习支持社区学校的策略，以及联合之路如何与家庭和教师合作，以提高学校的生活质量。该项目的一些关键支持功能包括由经验丰富的科学教师面对面的辅导，面对面和虚拟辅导前密歇根州立大学诺伊斯学者从以前的奖项，密歇根州立大学伍德罗威尔逊研究员，诺尔斯基金会科学教学研究员，研讨会，在线资源加上并从这些研讨会，访谈，期刊交流，该项目使研究员能够分享他们的深厚知识和技能，重点是在密歇根州及其他地区的高需求学校中以改革为基础和因地制宜的方式进行教学。奖学金还有望增加STEM教师的数量，这些教师拥有丰富的内容知识，并坚定地致力于教授最需要的学生。此外，什么是了解如何有效地准备个人在高需求的环境中教学，并在支持早期职业教师在距离大学有更传统的教师准备计划在密歇根州立大学和更广泛的设计的影响。最后，这一举措，加上最近在密歇根州立大学进行的其他举措，预计将增加进入STEM教学队伍并选择在高需求环境中教学的代表性不足（妇女和少数民族）学者的数量。
