Recruiting, Developing, and Retaining Tomorrow's Outstanding STEM Teachers in Oklahoma

培养更多、高素质的科学和数学教师是国家的优先事项。通过国家科学基金会罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的资助，这一第一阶段诺伊斯教师奖学金项目将招聘、准备和支持24名正在攻读STEM学科学士学位的学生，以在五年内同时完成俄克拉荷马州教师认证的要求。该项目是为了应对国家和地方缺乏优秀的STEM中学教师的问题，以及使教师队伍多样化以利用该国提供的丰富资源的需要。该项目是兰斯顿大学、俄克拉何马市社区学院、俄克拉何马城和格思里学区之间的合作项目。卢·诺伊斯奖学金入职前教师候选人将从四个组别中招聘：社区学院STEM专业的学生；兰斯顿大学(LU)现有的STEM奖学金获得者，他们表示倾向于教学或毕业后没有承诺立即攻读相关学科的研究生；LU未申报的专业，他们表示有兴趣从事教学并在STEM学科上表现出敏锐的洞察力，以至于他们将攻读STEM学科的学位；以及俄克拉荷马州高中的大学预科学生。该项目还将利用路易斯安那大学几十年来长期展示的能力作为俄克拉荷马州非裔美国中学教师的主要培训资源，并利用其过往记录培养优秀的STEM专业学生，他们将把自己的核心内容知识、学习热情和对社会正义的承诺带到教学和学习企业中。除了战略招聘活动，该项目的组成部分还将包括：奖学金前支持计划；鲁伊斯·诺伊斯教师准备计划；卢卡斯·诺伊斯计划表现、保留和丰富经验计划；以及卢卡斯·诺伊斯毕业后支持/保留计划。该项目建立并整合了许多以研究为基础的方法和工具，包括能力表现学习记录(CPRL)，一个支持学生解决问题技能的教学和学习协议，以及STEM数字村，一个支持和认可学者的活动和表现的在线STEM学习社区，提供教育资源，并支持在大学校园以外的受监控的、以教育为导向的讨论。这项LU Robert Noyce努力的最终社会利益将是在俄克拉荷马州和全国范围内发展和支持多样化的高素质STEM教师群体，他们热爱自己的STEM学科，并在高需求学区的教学中奠定了良好的基础。一名外部评估员将进行一次形成性和终结性评估，审查工作的在线方面的影响，以及与24名朗斯顿·诺伊斯学者的招聘、发展和留用有关的成功指标。

Developing more, highly qualified science and mathematics teachers is a national priority. Through funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, this Phase I Noyce Teacher Scholarship project will recruit, prepare, and support twenty-four students pursuing baccalaureate degrees in a STEM discipline to simultaneously complete requirements for teacher certification in Oklahoma over a five-year period. This project is responsive to both the national and local shortage of outstanding STEM secondary teachers and to the need to diversify the teaching workforce to take advantage of the richness that this country offers. This project is a collaboration among Langston University, the Oklahoma City Community College, and Oklahoma City and Guthrie School Districts. LU Noyce Scholar pre-service teacher candidates will be recruited from four groups: community college STEM majors; existing Langston University (LU) STEM Scholars who indicate a preference for teaching or who are not committed to pursuing graduate school in their discipline immediately upon graduation; LU undeclared majors who indicate an interest in teaching and exhibit acumen in STEM subjects such that they would pursue a degree in a STEM discipline; and pre-college students in Oklahoma's high schools. This project will also leverage LU's decades of long demonstrated capabilities as the primary training resource for Oklahoma's African-American secondary teachers, and its track record to develop outstanding STEM majors who will bring their core content knowledge, passion for learning and commitment to social justice to the teaching and learning enterprise. In addition to strategic recruitment activities, components of the project will include: a Pre-scholarship Support Program; LU Noyce Teacher Preparation Program; LU Noyce Program Performance, Retention, and Enrichment Experiences Program; and the LU Noyce Post-Graduation Support/Retention Program. The project builds upon and integrates a number of research-based approaches and tools, including the Competency Performance Recordings for Learning (CPRL), a teaching and learning protocol demonstrated to support students' problem solving skills, and the STEM Digital Village, an online STEM learning community that supports and recognizes the Scholar's activities and performance, provides educational resources, and supports monitored, education-oriented discussion beyond LU's campus. The ultimate societal benefit of this LU Robert Noyce endeavor, both within Oklahoma and nationwide, will be the development and support of a diverse group of highly qualified STEM teachers, who have a love for their STEM discipline and who are well-grounded in teaching in high-needs school districts. An external evaluator will conduct a formative and summative assessment, which will examine the impact of the online aspects of the work, as well as the indicators of success associated with the recruitment, development, and retention of the twenty-four Langston Noyce Scholars.
