This Noyce Master Teaching Fellowship project will address the need for sustained, content-focused professional development for teams of secondary mathematics and science teachers in Milwaukee Public Schools. The project will include pathways for master teachers to (a) build content knowledge for teaching in focused areas of mathematics and science, (b) implement research-based best pedagogical practices to improve student learning, and (c) develop teams to design and conduct action research projects that lead to iterative cycles of professional development. The master teachers will acquire micro-credentials across three levels in content or pedagogical topic (such as the design of meaningful science lab experiences, or the teaching of statistics in high school mathematics courses), mentoring and leadership.Acknowledging that the Wisconsin Strategic Plan identifies an ongoing professional skills gap for teachers across the state and that over 60% of the school districts in Wisconsin are currently designated as high-needs districts in mathematics and science, this project will create alternative incentives for the development of master teachers, which can be adapted by school systems across the state. A unique feature of this project is that the master teachers will be encouraged to customize their own professional development throughout the micro-credentialing process, making the teachers' voice central to all of the training activities. Moreover, the credentialing processes for leadership and mentoring have been designed to require master teachers to work with other teachers in their schools or districts on action research projects. The products of these activities are expected to be modular, transportable, and replicable so that the master teachers will be able to conduct similar activities with other groups of teachers, further extending the impact of the project. Project evaluation will serve to provide documentation of the extent to which the project's core activities occur as intended, collect formative and summative feedback on the fellows' experiences with project activities, and provide research support, which may include assistance with instrument or rubric development or provision of a reliability check on coding for a sample of data.

诺伊斯硕士教学奖学金项目将解决密尔沃基公立学校中学数学和科学教师团队持续的、注重内容的专业发展的需求。该项目将包括大师教师的途径，以(A)建立数学和科学重点领域的教学知识，(B)实施以研究为基础的最佳教学做法，以改善学生的学习，以及(C)建立团队，设计和开展行动研究项目，导致专业发展的迭代周期。硕士教师将在内容或教学主题(如设计有意义的科学实验室体验，或在高中数学课程中教授统计学)、指导和领导三个级别获得微观证书。认识到威斯康星州战略计划确定了全州教师持续的专业技能差距，以及威斯康星州超过60%的学区目前被指定为数学和科学方面的高需求区，该项目将为硕士教师的发展创造替代激励措施，可供全州的学校系统采用。该项目的一个独特之处是，将鼓励大师教师在整个微认证过程中定制自己的专业发展，使教师的声音成为所有培训活动的中心。此外，领导力和导师资格认证程序的设计要求大师教师与学校或学区的其他教师合作开展行动研究项目。预计这些活动的产品将是模块化的、可运输的和可复制的，以便大师教师能够与其他教师群体开展类似的活动，进一步扩大项目的影响。项目评价将有助于提供项目核心活动按预期发生的程度的文件，收集研究员关于项目活动经验的形成性和总结性反馈，并提供研究支助，其中可能包括协助制定工具或标准，或对数据样本编码进行可靠性检查。
