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，招聘和准备42名新的数学和科学教师。除了传统的社区学院转校生和加州大学洛杉矶分校的本科生外，该项目还面向潜在的硅谷转业专业人士。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专业的学生和STEM专业人员进入Noyce项目并从事教学工作。这包括为两组10名社区大学转学学生提供本科和继续硕士/教学证书奖学金，为四组另外32名硕士/教师证书学生提供奖学金，以及为所有42名新教师提供早期职业指导和入职培训。项目活动在更广泛的支持未来和早期职业科学和数学教师的框架内进行，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MA/证书计划，以及在合作伙伴地区发展良好的教师入职计划。实质性评估和研究解决了一个关键问题：成功地向不同的学习者，特别是英语学习者发展科学和数学教学知识。其结果为UCSC及其合作伙伴目前的做法提供了参考，并促进了这一领域的国家对话。加州大学伯克利分校的诺伊斯奖学金计划正在加强对未来数学和科学教师多样化群体的接触和支持，并在加州大学伯克利分校、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中心研究。

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.
