Noyce Northeast Regional Conferences in 2013 and 2014

德雷塞尔大学、纽约州立大学科特兰分校和马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校正在为Noyce学者、研究员和来自美国东北部Noyce项目的教师组织两次年度会议。这些会议旨在推进STEM教师的内容知识和教学实践，重点关注高需求学校的教学。高需求学校的成功教学依赖于STEM教师，他们在教授概念上困难的内容方面拥有广泛的教学实践。这些会议使与会者能够了解、讨论和实践向面临高需求学校常见挑战的学生教授STEM内容的最新方法。为此，会议旨在将STEM教学的智力和概念方面与STEM概念在课堂上的实际应用相结合。来自东北地区的Noyce项目齐聚一堂，学习和分享STEM领域的最新内容和最佳教学实践。这些会议为他们提供了一个相互启发的平台，以解决国家在支持高质量、创新和变革的数学和科学教学方面的需求，并推动高需求学校的教育。Noyce学者和教师的专业发展直接影响到他们的教学。这些会议为Noyce的学者和教师提供了与同行和同事合作、分享经验、专业知识和技能的机会，并通过持续的网络继续保持会议之外的联系。目标是在数学和科学领域倡导强有力的内容知识和教学实践，包括研究人员、教师教育工作者、K-12教育工作者、学校管理人员和政策制定者，他们可以为教师提供支持，并积极改变实践和政策，以更好地支持高需求学校学生的科学和数学学习。

Drexel University, the State University of New York College at Cortland, and the University of Massachusetts Boston are organizing two annual conferences for Noyce Scholars, Fellows and faculty from Noyce programs located in the Northeast United States. The conferences are designed to advance the content knowledge and pedagogical practices of STEM teachers with a focus on teaching in high-need schools. Successful teaching in high need schools is dependent upon STEM teachers who have a wide repertoire of pedagogical practices for teaching conceptually difficult content. The conferences are enabling participants to learn about, discuss and practice the latest methods for teaching STEM content to students who face the challenges common in high-need schools. To this end, the conference aims to integrate the intellectual and conceptual aspects of STEM teaching with the practical application of STEM concepts in the classroom. Noyce programs from the Northeast region are coming together to learn about and share the latest content from STEM fields and the best teaching practices. The conferences provide a platform for them to inspire one another, to address the national needs of supporting high quality, innovative and transformative mathematics and science teaching and to advance education in high need schools. Noyce scholars and teachers receive professional development that directly impacts their teaching. The conferences are providing opportunities for Noyce scholars and teachers to collaborate, share experiences, expertise, and skills with peers and colleagues and to continue to maintain the connections beyond the conference through on-going networking. The goal is to advocate for strong content knowledge and teaching practices in mathematics and science and include researchers, teacher educators, K-12 educators, school administrators, and policy makers who can support teachers and work to positively transform practices and policies to better support science and mathematics learning for students in high need schools.
