This Noyce Master Teaching Fellowship project will prepare a cadre of 14, K-12 STEM master teachers for high-need urban districts in upstate New York. Along with standard professional development activities, Master Teaching Fellows (MTFs) will have the option to (a) complete the additional requirements needed to obtain state certification as a school/district leader, (b) obtain a certificate in online teaching and learning, and (c) complete a doctorate in education, in order to acquire the credentials to be leaders in their districts' STEM reform plan. Additionally, the MTFs will have the unique opportunity to participate in the restructuring of mathematics and science curricula at an elementary school that is becoming a STEM school and at a failing high school that is being revitalized by the University of Rochester. This project builds on the important national systemic work of preparing a critical mass of master teachers in a region that has the highest poverty in the state of New York and the lowest graduation rate of African-American males in the entire country.The goals of this project are to improve the quality of teaching and to create teacher/leaders. Thus, the first two years of the project, will focus the MTF's attention on their own teaching practice to help them gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to create learning experiences that are more interesting, meaningful and effective for all students. The complement of additional activities will include: (a) graduate coursework, (b) seminars of practice, and (c) mentored experiences. The emphasis for the remainder of the project will be on the development of the MTF's leadership (knowledge, skills, and habits of mind). Formative and summative evaluation will be used to determine the extent to which the project elements have supported its goals. The MTFs will be assessed through surveys, classroom observations (Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol), and interviews. A subset of the fellow's experiences will be used in case studies to be disseminated through journals such as Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education and annual meetings of mathematics and science teachers.

诺伊斯硕士教学奖学金项目将为纽约州北部高需求的城市地区培养一支由14名K-12 STEM硕士教师组成的干部队伍。除了标准的专业发展活动，主要教学研究员(MTF)将可以选择(A)完成作为学校/地区领导人的州认证所需的额外要求，(B)获得在线教学和学习证书，以及(C)完成教育博士学位，以获得成为所在地区STEM改革计划领导人的资格证书。此外，MTF将有独特的机会参与一所正在成为STEM学校的小学和一所正在被罗切斯特大学振兴的失败高中的数学和科学课程的重组。该项目建立在一个纽约州贫困程度最高、非裔美国男性毕业率全国最低的地区培养大批硕士教师这一重要的全国性系统工作的基础上。该项目的目标是提高教学质量，培养教师/领导者。因此，在项目的头两年，MTF将把注意力集中在他们自己的教学实践上，帮助他们更深入地了解如何创造对所有学生来说更有趣、更有意义和更有效的学习体验。其他补充活动将包括：(A)研究生课程、(B)实践研讨会和(C)指导经验。该项目其余部分的重点将是发展MTF的领导力(知识、技能和思维习惯)。将使用形成性和总结性评价来确定项目要素在多大程度上支持其目标。将通过调查、课堂观察(改革后的教学观察方案)和访谈对MTF进行评估。这位研究员的部分经验将被用于案例研究，通过《数学教师教育杂志》等期刊以及数学和科学教师的年度会议进行传播。
