Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Scholars Teacher Academy Resident System

探索研究K-12计划(DRK-12)旨在通过研究和开发创新资源、模型和工具(RMT)，显著提高K-12学龄前学生和教师在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)方面的学习和教学。DRK-12计划中的项目建立在STEM教育的基础研究和先前的研究和开发工作的基础上，这些研究和开发工作为拟议的项目提供了理论和经验证明。杰克逊州立大学的这个项目将调查师范学院常驻模式在南方高需求学校招聘、许可、入职、雇用和留住中学和中学科学和数学教师的有效性，它将在高需求的城市和农村学校培养来自历史上的黑人大学的新的、高素质的科学和数学教师。该项目涉及三所历史悠久的黑人大学(杰克逊、州立大学、路易斯安那泽维尔大学和阿肯色大学松林分校)以及密西西比州杰克逊、路易斯安那州新奥尔良和阿肯色州松布拉夫地区的不同城乡学区之间的合作伙伴关系，为超过17.5万名学生提供服务。参与人员将包括150名中学和中学教师住院医生，他们将获得临床指导经验并熟悉当地学校。由国家委员会认证计划支持的150名实习教师将获得：国家理科教学许可证/认证，硕士？S学位，以及入会。其目标是提高教师保留率和多样性。指导这一焦点的研究问题是：培训STEM毕业生是否会对K12教学质量、教师效能和满意度、STEM教师保留率和学生产生显著影响？科学和数学方面的成就？将采用准实验设计来评价项目的有效性。

The Discovery Research K-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools (RMTs). Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects.This project at Jackson State University will investigate the effectiveness of a teacher academy resident model to recruit, license, induct, employ, and retain middle school and secondary science and mathematics teachers for high-need schools in the South It will prepare new, highly-qualified science and mathematics teachers from historically Black universities in high-needs urban and rural schools. The project involves a partnership among three historically Black universities (Jackson, State University, Xavier University of Louisiana, and the University of Arkansas at Pine Buff), and diverse urban and rural school districts in Jackson, Mississippi; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Pine Bluff Arkansas region that serve more than 175,000 students.Participants will include 150 middle and secondary school teacher residents who will gain clinical mentored experience and develop familiarity with local schools. The 150 teacher residents supported by the program to National Board certification will obtain: state licensure/certification in science teaching, a master?s degree, and initiation. The goal is to increase teacher retention and diversity rates. The research question guiding this focus is: Will training STEM graduates have a significant effect on the quality of K12 instruction, teacher efficacy and satisfaction, STEM teacher retention, and students? science and mathematics achievement? A quasi-experimental design will be used.to evaluate project's effectiveness.
