Recruiting and Preparing STEM Teachers for High-Need Schools: Community College-University of California, Santa Cruz Partnerships

四个高需求学区和七所社区学院正在与加州大学圣克鲁斯分校（UCSC）合作，招募并准备42名新的数学和科学教师。除了传统社区学院的转校生和加州大学圣迭戈分校的本科生外，该项目还针对未来硅谷职业转变的专业人士。Noyce基金将在三年内为90名学生提供密集的K-12实地体验，以吸引STEM专业和STEM专业人士加入Noyce项目并进入教学领域。这包括两组10名社区学院转学生的本科和继续硕士/教学证书奖学金，另外四组32名硕士/教学证书学生的奖学金，以及所有42名新教师的早期职业指导和入门。项目活动在一个更广泛的框架内进行，支持未来的和早期职业的科学和数学教师，包括：UCSC为未来的数学和科学教师提供的本科支持计划（以及一些社区学院的平行计划），UCSC的硕士/证书计划，以及在合作地区的一个完善的教师入门计划。实质性的评估和研究解决了一个关键问题：如何成功地向不同的学习者，特别是英语学习者传授科学和数学的知识。研究结果为UCSC及其合作伙伴的当前实践提供了信息，并为该领域的全国对话做出了贡献。加州大学圣克鲁兹分校的诺伊斯奖学金项目正在加强对未来数学和科学教师的支持，并在加州大学圣克鲁兹分校、七所社区学院和四个高需求学区之间建立更紧密的伙伴关系。这些努力正在加强在地区短缺的关键领域招聘和留住新教师，并就这些问题开展一项核心研究。

Four high-need school districts and seven community colleges are partnering with the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to recruit and prepare forty two new math and science teachers. This project targets prospective Silicon Valley career-change professionals in addition to traditional community college transfer students and UCSC undergraduates. The Noyce funds are to support intensive K-12 field experiences for ninety students over three years to attract STEM majors and STEM professionals into the Noyce program and into teaching. This includes undergraduate and continuing MA/teaching credential scholarships for 10 community college transfer students in two cohorts, scholarships for an additional thirty two MA/credential students in four cohorts, and early career mentoring and induction for all forty two new teachers. The project activities take place in a broader framework of support for prospective and early career science and math teachers including: UCSC's undergraduate support program for prospective math and science teachers (and parallel programs at some community colleges), UCSC's MA/Credential program, and a well-developed teacher induction programs in the partner districts.Substantive evaluation and research address a key issue: the successful development of knowledge about teaching science and math to diverse learners, especially English learners. The results are informing the current practice of UCSC and its partners and contribute to national conversation in this area. UCSC's Noyce Scholarship Program is strengthening outreach to and support of a diverse pool of prospective mathematics and science teachers and is building a closer partnerships between UCSC, seven community colleges, and four high-need school districts. These efforts are enhancing recruitment and retention of new teachers in key areas of district shortages and developing a central piece of research on these issues.
