The Rice University Robert Noyce Master Teaching Fellowship Program

这个诺伊斯硕士教学奖学金项目旨在为16名数学校本领导者的发展提供活动，他们深深扎根于健全的内容和基于研究的教学，领导，成人教育和数学宣传技能。 硕士教师将参加课程，突出数学内容和教学技术和互补的进步，通过个人决定（AVID）路径培训的课堂策略，利用写作，探究，协作，组织和阅读（WICOR）和文化相关的教学。 大师级教师将有各种机会担任领导角色，例如进行数学演示，共同教学课程，并在高需求学校担任地区倡导者。 该项目涉及莱斯大学学校数学项目、塔皮亚卓越与公平中心、格拉斯科克继续教育学院、AVID和休斯顿独立学区的教育工作者之间的合作。该诺伊斯硕士教学奖学金项目将利用Avid Path培训和内容丰富的补充研究生课程来培养硕士教师的能力，为准备上大学的STEM学生做好准备。 对WICOR和文化相关教学的关注是对新兴研究机构的回应，该研究机构建议对教学领导者的培训将高质量的教学方法融入公平的学习环境中。 该项目的一个新颖方面是介绍成人教育技能，大师教师将获得，然后他们将应用于他们指导其他教师。 这项工作是基于成人教育学的理论，它有六个原则，解决成人学习者的（1）需要知道，（2）自我概念，（3）以前的经验，（4）准备学习，（5）学习方向，（6）学习动机。 项目评估将包括通过教学促进对数学课堂观察协议的充分理解来评估教师的有效性，通过修订版的AVID教师调查来评估领导力，以及通过成人教育实践清单来评估成人教育技能。 多样性倾向指数将用于评估他们对多样性和公平问题的理解。 评估计划的结果将通过得克萨斯州教育局、得克萨斯州高等教育协调委员会、查尔斯·A·得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校达纳中心、得克萨斯州区域教育服务中心和哈里斯县教育部。

This Noyce Master Teaching Fellowship project seeks to provide activities for the development of 16 school-based leaders in mathematics, who are deeply grounded in sound content and research-based pedagogical, leadership, adult education, and mathematics advocacy skills. The master teachers will participate in coursework that highlights mathematics content and pedagogical techniques and complementary Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) Path Trainings on classroom strategies that utilize writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading (WICOR) and culturally relevant teaching. The master teachers will have a variety of opportunities to take leadership roles such as performing mathematics demonstrations, co-teaching courses, and acting as district advocates in their high-needs schools. The project involves collaboration between the Rice University School Mathematics Project, Tapia Center for Excellence and Equity, and Glasscock School of Continuing Studies, AVID, and educators from the Houston Independent School District.This Noyce Master Teaching Fellowship project will utilize Avid Path Trainings and complementary, content-rich graduate courses to develop master teachers ability to prepare college-ready, STEM students. The focus on WICOR and culturally relevant teaching are in response to an emerging body of research that recommends that training for instructional leaders integrate high-quality instructional methods in an equitable learning environment. A novel aspect of the project is the introduction to adult education skills that master teachers will receive, which they will then apply as they mentor other teachers. This work is grounded in the theory of andragogy, which has six principles that address adult learners' (1) need to know, (2) self-concept, (3) prior experiences, (4) readiness to learn, (5) orientation to learning, and (6) motivation to learn. Project evaluation will include assessment of the master teachers' effectiveness through Teaching for Robust Understanding of Mathematics classroom observation protocols, leadership through a modified version of the Survey for AVID Teachers, and adult education skills through the Andragogical Practices Inventory. The Diverse Disposition Index will be use to assess their understanding of diversity and equity issues. The results of the evaluation plan will be disseminated throughout the region through the Texas Education Agency, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Charles A. Dana Center at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas Regional Education Service Centers, and the Harris County Department of Education.
