Talented Teachers Training Texas Phase

项目摘要

With funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, the project, Talented Teachers in Training for Texas (T4) Phase II, will continue to address the extreme need for highly-qualified science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teachers by recruiting, educating, and equipping talented undergraduate STEM majors. In T4 Phase II, scholarships will be awarded to 20 undergraduate STEM majors who are seeking to earn their teaching certifications and who commit to teaching in high-needs school districts for at least four years. Building on the successful elements of Phase I, these new cohorts of scholars will participate in intensive academic mentoring during their scholarship years, three years of classroom induction and mentoring, and opportunities to attend STEM teaching conferences in an effort to build a collaborative network of science and mathematics teachers. Two new courses at SFA will be designed specifically to provide authentic explorations into teaching, including field experiences, supervised by Master Teachers. Additionally, the T4 Phase II leadership team will work in partnership with representatives from 11 community colleges in Texas to raise awareness of STEM teaching as a career option before students transfer to a university. Phase I initiated a Master Teacher Job Shadow for freshmen/sophomore STEM majors, providing an opportunity for undergraduate STEM majors to spend an entire week with a Master Teacher for a realistic look into the profession. Phase II will provide an opportunity to reach into its community college partners' STEM major populations to identify additional shadowers.Through T4 Phase II, project researchers will conduct longitudinal investigations into (1) How early teaching engagement and short-term mentoring activities affect STEM majors' persistence and career choice; (2) What factors affect Scholars' persistence to degree and persistence to undergraduate STEM teaching certification; and (3) How inclusion into the T4 mentoring community impacts the Scholars in the areas of teaching efficacy, their students' learning, and their growth as teacher leaders. Phase II will sustain paired longitudinal comparison groups developed in Phase I and generate new comparison groups for the new Scholars. T4 Phase II will expand opportunities to study the effect of the cohort model on preservice teachers as well as the impact of including Master Teacher mentors in their preparation. Better understanding the linkage between supportive academic community and the retention of classroom teachers is vital to improving teacher retention rates nationwide.

在美国国家科学基金会罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的资助下，德克萨斯州优秀教师培训 (T4) 第二阶段项目将通过招募、教育和装备有才华的 STEM 专业本科生，继续满足对高素质科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 教师的极端需求。在 T4 第二阶段，奖学金将颁发给 20 名寻求获得教学认证并承诺在高需求学区教学至少四年的 STEM 专业本科生。在第一阶段成功要素的基础上，这些新学者将在奖学金期间参加密集的学术指导、三年的课堂入职和指导，并有机会参加 STEM 教学会议，努力建立科学和数学教师的协作网络。 SFA 的两门新课程将专门设计，以提供真实的教学探索，包括由名师指导的现场经验。此外，T4 第二阶段领导团队将与德克萨斯州 11 所社区学院的代表合作，在学生转入大学之前提高对 STEM 教学作为职业选择的认识。第一阶段为 STEM 专业的新生/大二学生发起了大师级教师见习活动，为 STEM 专业的本科生提供了与大师级教师一起度过整整一周的机会，以现实的方式了解该职业。第二阶段将提供一个机会，深入社区大学合作伙伴的 STEM 专业人群，以确定更多的影子。通过 T4 第二阶段，项目研究人员将进行纵向调查：（1）早期教学参与和短期辅导活动如何影响 STEM 专业学生的坚持和职业选择；（2）哪些因素影响学者对学位的坚持和对本科STEM教学认证的坚持； (3) 加入 T4 辅导社区如何影响学者在教学效率、学生学习以及教师领导者成长方面的影响。第二阶段将维持第一阶段开发的配对纵向比较组，并为新学者生成新的比较组。 T4 第二阶段将扩大研究队列模型对职前教师的影响以及将特级教师导师纳入其准备工作的影响的机会。更好地理解支持性学术界与保留课堂教师之间的联系对于提高全国范围内的教师保留率至关重要。
