Husky Teach is a Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Phase I project that will recruit, prepare, and support a diverse and talented group of professionals to become science and math teachers in high-needs settings. This Phase 1 project combines research activity by marine scientists with best teacher preparation practices. The project leverages local expertise to prepare post-graduates and career changers so they excel during their initial years in teaching positions in high-need schools. The project will advance understandings about integrating STEM subject matter mentoring into the goal of preparing teachers for high-need schools. Combining expertise from marine scientists with coursework emphasizing access and equity to STEM careers is unique to this project, the outcomes of which would inform similar practices in at other science teacher preparation sites. Best teacher preparation practices combined with the marine research programs at the Avery Point campus provide a seedbed of science learning opportunities for future science teachers. The HuskyTeach project aligns with other strategic investments by the University of Connecticut and the State. Noyce recipients will progress through the established program with the addition of iteratively working with STEM Mentors. The goals of the HuskyTeach project include: 1) recruiting 24 high-quality STEM professionals for science teaching careers, 2) integrating STEM content with education training to prepare future science teachers, 3) providing experiences and resources to prepare science teachers to work in high-needs schools, 4) increasing the diversity of the science teaching workforce, and 5) using multiple data sources to inform the improvements to STEM teacher preparation. Participants will integrate content acquired from marine science research into curriculum modules developed in association with education coursework. Key evaluation and assessment measurements of this project will chart attitudinal shifts and dispositions over time, with particular focus on data-informed decisions with respect to teaching science in high-needs schools.

Husky Teach是Robert Noyce教师奖学金的第一阶段项目，该项目将招募，准备和支持多元化和有才华的专业人士成为高需求环境中的科学和数学教师。这个第一阶段的项目将海洋科学家的研究活动与最好的教师准备实践相结合。该项目利用当地的专业知识为研究生和转行者做好准备，使他们在高需求学校的教学岗位上脱颖而出。该项目将促进人们对将STEM学科指导纳入高需求学校教师培养目标的理解。将海洋科学家的专业知识与强调STEM职业准入和公平的课程相结合是该项目的独特之处，其结果将为其他科学教师准备场所的类似实践提供参考。最佳教师准备实践与艾弗里波因特校区的海洋研究项目相结合，为未来的科学教师提供了科学学习机会的温床。HuskyTeach项目与康涅狄格大学和该州的其他战略投资保持一致。Noyce获得者将通过与STEM导师的迭代工作，在既定计划中取得进展。HuskyTeach项目的目标包括：1)为科学教学职业招募24名高质量的STEM专业人员；2)将STEM内容与教育培训相结合，培养未来的科学教师；3)提供经验和资源，培养高需求学校的科学教师；4)增加科学教学队伍的多样性；5)使用多种数据源，为STEM教师的培养提供改进信息。参与者将整合从海洋科学研究获得的内容到与教育课程相关的课程模块中。该项目的关键评估和评估措施将记录态度随时间的变化和倾向，特别侧重于在高需求学校进行科学教学时根据数据做出的决策。
