Acquiring Teaching Opportunities in Mathematics and Science (ATOMS)

培养更多、高素质的数学和科学教师是国家的优先事项。第一阶段，Noyce教师奖学金项目，获得数学和科学(原子)的教学机会，将招募24名没有考虑过从事教学工作的生物或数学专业的大三学生，并将为他们提供三年奖学金，以完成他们所在学科的学士学位和俄亥俄州青少年/青年(AYA)综合数学或生命科学执照的要求，7-12年级。该计划还将招聘并资助8名通过为期一年的快速学士学位后课程完成数学、科学或相关领域的本科和/或研究生学位的个人，以成为AYA综合数学或生命科学专业的持证人员。Atom计划将汇集一支来自生物、数学和教育的强大教师团队，以及高需求合作学校的领导人和教师，以使这些Atom学者具备强大的学科知识；致力于以探究为基础的科学；并了解如何激励、评估和衡量学生的学习。Atom计划将让其学者参与到高需求学校的早期实地经验、大学一级的教育实习、专注于整合内容和教学方法并开发高杠杆实践、指导计划和强大的互动实践社区的系列研讨会。总体而言，ATOM计划将致力于产生关于将最佳做法与为未来教师做好严格准备相结合的好处的知识。

Developing more, highly qualified mathematics and science teachers is a national priority. This Phase I, Track I Noyce Teacher Scholarship project, Acquiring Teaching Opportunities in Mathematics and Science (ATOMS), will recruit 24 juniors who are majoring in biology or mathematics who have not considered a career in teaching and will provide them with three-year scholarships to complete the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in their discipline and Ohio's Adolescent/Young Adult (AYA) Integrated Mathematics or Life Science licensure for grades 7-12. The program will also recruit and financially support eight individuals who have completed an undergraduate and/or graduate degree in mathematics, science, or a related field through a one-year rapid post-baccalaureate program to become AYA licensed in Integrated Mathematics or Life Science. The ATOMS program will bring together a strong team of faculty from biology, mathematics, and education, as well as leaders and teachers in high-needs partner schools, to prepare these ATOMS scholars with strong content knowledge; commitment to inquiry-based science; and an understanding of how to inspire, evaluate, and measure student learning. The ATOMS program will involve its scholars in early field experiences in high-needs schools, education internships at the collegiate level, workshop series focusing on integrating content and pedagogy and developing high-leverage practices, mentorship programs, and robust interactive communities of practice. Collectively, the ATOMS program will aim to generate knowledge on the benefits of coupling best practices with rigorous preparation for future teachers.
