Recruiting Impassioned STEM Educators (RISE)

在美国国家科学基金会Robert Noyce教师奖学金项目的资助下，西佛罗里达大学（UWF）招聘富有激情的STEM教育者（RISE）能力建设项目将开发一个多维计划，用于在佛罗里达西北部地区招聘和留住高素质的中高中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大师教师、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。一门名为“探究性探究教学”的招聘课程将成为其他本科院校招聘数学和理科学生成为教师的典范。在为期一年的资助项目中，RISE将取得以下主要成果：设计STEM专业的专业教学认证体系2. 通过开发新课程来吸引STEM专业的学生进入教育领域，从而增加STEM教学的招聘；3. 为未来的STEM中小学教师建立一个学习社区；4.目标招收双录取高中学生从事STEM教学；5. 在STEM学习中心正式设立实习地点；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大师导师来提高STEM教师的留任率；和8。参与为城市和农村低收入学生提供服务的高需求学校。此外，RISE将使STEM学科的合作活动正规化，将高等教育机构与当地学校和教师联系起来，并扩大佛罗里达州西北部的STEM学习社区。为了扩大成果的分发，RISE小组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议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.
