Recruiting Impassioned STEM Educators (RISE)

在国家科学基金会罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的资助下，西佛罗里达大学（UWF）招聘充满激情的STEM教育工作者（RISE）能力建设项目将制定一项多层面计划，用于招聘和保留西北佛罗里达地区的高素质中学科学技术工程和数学（STEM）教师。RISE教育合作伙伴将包括UWF，西北佛罗里达州立学院，彭萨科拉州立学院，STEM硕士教师，STEM学习中心和三个地区学区，这些学区面临着为城市和农村低经济高需求学校提供服务的共同挑战。RISE教育合作伙伴将共同努力，招募高素质的STEM专业学生成为中学教师。这些教师候选人将通过在当地学区和科学学习中心工作来影响6-12年级的学生。在为期一年的资助项目中，RISE将主要完成以下工作：1.将数学和科学专业的学生培养为教师。为STEM专业设计专业教学认证计划; 2.通过开发新课程来增加STEM教学的招聘，以吸引STEM专业的学生进入教育领域; 3.为未来的STEM初中和中学教师建立一个学习社区; 4.有针对性地招募双招生高中生从事STEM教学; 5.正式在STEM学习中心实习地点; 6.为STEM学生、硕士导师和教师创建社交媒体网站; 7.通过培训STEM硕士导师来增加STEM教师的保留率; 8.让高需求的学校参与，为城市和农村经济困难的学生提供服务。此外，RISE还将使STEM学科的合作活动正式化，将高等教育机构与当地学校和教师联系起来，并扩大佛罗里达西北部的STEM学习社区。为了扩大成果的传播，RISE团队成员将与赠款伙伴以及在区域和国家会议上以及通过同行评审期刊上的出版物传播通过该项目开发的报告和资源。

With funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, the University of West Florida (UWF) Recruiting Impassioned STEM Educators (RISE) capacity building project will develop a multidimensional program for recruiting and retaining highly-qualified middle and secondary Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teachers in the Northwest Florida region. RISE educational partners will include UWF, Northwest Florida State College, Pensacola State College, STEM Master Teachers, STEM learning centers, and three area school districts that have the combined challenge of serving both urban and rural low-economic high need schools. The RISE educational partners will work together to recruit highly qualified STEM majors to become secondary teachers. These teacher candidates will impact students in grades 6-12 by working in local school districts and science learning centers. A recruitment course, Exploring Inquiry Teaching, will serve as a model for other undergraduate colleges to recruit math and science students to become teachers.Within the one-year grant project, RISE will achieve the following major outcomes: 1. Design a Professional Teaching Certification Program for STEM majors; 2. Increase recruitment to STEM teaching by developing a new course to attract STEM majors to the field of education; 3. Build a learning community for future STEM middle and secondary teachers; 4.Target recruitment of dual-enrolled high school students to a career in STEM teaching; 5. Formalize internship sites at STEM learning centers; 6. Create social media sites for STEM students, Master Mentors, and faculty; 7. Increase retention of STEM teachers by training STEM Master Mentors; and 8. Engage high-needs schools that serve both urban and rural low-economic students. In addition, RISE will formalize cooperative activities in the STEM disciplines, connect higher education institutions with local schools and teachers, and expand the STEM learning community in Northwest Florida. To broaden the distribution of results, RISE team members will disseminate reports and resources developed through the project with grant partners as well as at regional and national conferences and through publications in peer reviewed journals.
