With funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program, the Teaching for Equity in Appalachia in Mathematics and Science, TEAMS, is recruiting undergraduate majors in mathematics, biology, chemistry, geology, or physics or mathematics or science professionals and preparing them to become grades 9-12 Mathematics or Science teachers. The project is funding 20-30 teachers over 4 years. In this project, Appalachian State University is collaborating with members of the Appalachian Public School Partnership, including Alleghany, Alexander, and Avery County Schools. Specific to the project is a focus on preparing teachers for the cultural contexts of teaching mathematics and science content in rural schools and development of leadership capacity among Noyce teachers through mentoring and course experiences. The project is based on the work of Shulman Pedagogical Content Knowledge developed in 1987 as further defined by Ball and Bass in their work of 2002, Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching, and the UTeach model developed and practiced at the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to their Bachelor's degree in a science or math major, the Scholars will earn a Graduate Certificate in Secondary Teaching and a licensure for secondary teaching in the appropriate area. Special attention will be paid to the formation of teacher cohorts in acknowledgement of the isolation often felt by teachers in the small rural schools typical of the area they will serve. Research concerning effective means of recruiting and retaining teachers in these small rural areas will be done using a mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative data collection) approach.

在美国国家科学基金会Robert Noyce教师奖学金项目的资助下，阿巴拉契亚地区数学和科学公平教学项目TEAMS正在招募数学、生物、化学、地质、物理、数学或科学专业的本科学生，并培养他们成为9-12年级的数学或科学教师。该项目将在4年内资助20-30名教师。在这个项目中，阿巴拉契亚州立大学与阿巴拉契亚公立学校伙伴关系的成员合作，包括Alleghany， Alexander和Avery县学校。具体而言，该项目的重点是让教师为农村学校数学和科学内容教学的文化背景做好准备，并通过指导和课程体验培养Noyce教师的领导能力。该项目基于1987年开发的Shulman教学内容知识（Shulman Pedagogical Content Knowledge）的工作，Ball和Bass在2002年的工作《数学知识教学》（Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching）中进一步定义了该工作，以及德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校开发和实践的UTeach模型。除了获得科学或数学专业的学士学位外，这些学者还将获得中学教学研究生证书和相应领域的中学教学执照。将特别注意教师队伍的组成，以认识到他们所服务地区典型的小型农村学校的教师经常感到孤立。关于在这些小农村地区招聘和留住教师的有效方法的研究将采用混合方法（定量和定性数据收集）。
