MaSTEC TF/MTF Capacity Building Project

MaSTEC TF/MTF能力建设项目佛罗里达纪念大学与迈阿密戴德县公立学校（M-DCPS）合作开展能力建设项目，以开发完整的罗伯特诺伊斯教学奖学金和硕士教学奖学金（TF/MTF）项目。该项目正在开发一个创新的综合科学和数学硕士学位课程，为城市高需求学区培养高素质的科学和数学教师领导干部。 该能力建设项目的主要目标包括：1）确定资源并获得成本分摊承诺; 2）进行需求评估，以确定迈阿密戴德县和布劳沃德县STEM专业人员的兴趣水平; 3）制定基于证据和实践的课程和实验室活动方法，以指导城市高需求学校的硕士教师的专业和领导力发展; 4）为招聘和留住教学研究员和硕士教学研究员设计一个强有力的推广计划; 5）制定有效的评估策略和其他工具，用于TF/MTF完整提案。该项目的成功有助于增加高素质的少数民族数学和科学教师的数量，他们有能力与城市学校来自不同背景的学生及其家庭合作。其目标是培养掌握提高科学和数学素养的最佳做法的教师，并有能力进行行动研究，以确定哪些干预措施最适合他们将要教授的学生。

MaSTEC TF/MTF Capacity Building ProjectFlorida Memorial University is partnering with Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) in a capacity building project to develop a full Robert Noyce Teaching Fellowship and Master Teaching Fellowship (TF/MTF) project. The project is developing an innovative integrated science and mathematics master's degree program to prepare a cadre of highly qualified science and mathematics teacher leaders for urban, high-need school districts. The primary objectives for this capacity building project include 1) identifying sources and obtaining cost sharing commitments; 2) conducting a needs assessment to determine the interest level among STEM professionals in Miami Dade and Broward Counties; 3) developing an evidence-based and practical approach to curricular and laboratory activities to guide the professional and leadership development of Master Teachers in urban high-need schools; 4) designing a robust outreach plan for recruiting and retaining Teaching Fellows and Master Teaching Fellows; and 5) developing effective assessment strategies and other tools to be used in the TF/MTF full proposal.This project's success contributes to increasing the number of highly qualified minority mathematics and science teachers equipped to work with students and their families from diverse backgrounds in urban schools. The goal is to prepare teachers who are knowledgeable in best practices for improving science and mathematics literacy and competent in conducting action research to determine which interventions are best suited for the students they will be teaching.
