Mt. SAC STEM Teacher Preparation Program (STEM TP2)

圣安东尼奥山学院（SAC）是联邦政府指定的西班牙裔服务机构，是加州112所社区学院中最大的校园。校园位于洛杉矶以东约30英里处。有两个因素表明，该地区需要培养更多、更好的科学和数学教师：一是SAC山几所顶级高中的学生数学和科学考试成绩需要提高，二是预计初中和高中教师的人数将大幅减少。为了满足对更多和更好的科学和数学教师的需求，SAC正在开发一个可持续的多维计划，以招募，咨询和指导有愿望和潜力成为高素质初中和高中数学和科学教师的学生。该项目名为“Mt. SAC STEM教师准备计划”（STEM TP2），旨在为学生提供(1)一系列学术支持，(2)丰富活动，(3)教学机会，以及(4)旨在促进学生成功的真实研究经验。该项目的首要目标是发展一个可持续的、多维的项目，以招收和留住有潜力和渴望教书的学生。PI团队正在与现有的SAC山教师培训学院合作，制定招聘学生的流程。该项目还与加州州立大学富勒顿分校和加州大学欧文分校的教师培训项目合作，以便SAC山的学生可以无缝地转入学士学位教师培训项目。学生参与者从科学和数学专业的学生中挑选，特别强调招募有色人种、女性、西班牙裔、退伍军人和渴望教书的第一代大学生。

Mt. San Antonio College (Mt. SAC) is a federally-designated Hispanic-Serving Institution, and is the largest single campus of California's 112 community colleges. The campus is located about 30 miles east of Los Angeles. Two factors speak to the need for the preparation of more and better science and mathematics teachers in this area: student mathematics and science test scores for several of Mt. SAC's top feeder high schools are in need of improvement and there is a predicted dramatic attrition among the population of middle-school and high school teachers. To address the need for more and better science and mathematics teachers, Mt. SAC is developing a sustainable multidimensional program to recruit, counsel, and direct likely students that have the desire and potential to become highly-qualified middle school and high school mathematics and science teachers. The project, titled Mt. SAC STEM Teacher Preparation Program (STEM TP2), is providing the students with (1) a cluster of academic support, (2) enrichment activities, (3) teaching opportunities, and (4) authentic research experiences designed to promote student success. The overarching goal of this project is to develop a sustainable, multidimensional program that will recruit and retain students with the potential and desire to teach. The PI team is working with the existing Mt. SAC Teacher Preparation Institute to develop the process through which students will be recruited. The project is also articulating with the teacher preparation programs at the California State University, Fullerton and the University of California, Irvine so that Mt. SAC students can transfer seamlessly into a baccalaureate teacher preparation program. Student participants are selected from among students majoring in science and mathematics areas and particular emphasis is focused on recruiting students of color, females, Hispanics, veterans and first-generation college students that have a desire to teach.
