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），显着提高学前班学生和教师的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）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依据。杰克逊州立大学的这个项目将调查教师学院驻地模式的有效性，以招募，许可，引导，雇用，并为南方急需的学校保留中学和中学科学和数学教师。来自历史上黑人大学的高素质科学和数学教师在高需求的城市和农村学校。该项目涉及三所历史悠久的黑人大学之间的伙伴关系（杰克逊，州立大学，路易斯安那州泽维尔大学和阿肯色州大学松巴夫分校），以及密西西比的杰克逊、路易斯安那州的新奥尔良、和松树海崖阿肯色州地区，服务超过175，参与者将包括150名中学教师居民，他们将获得临床指导经验，并熟悉当地学校。该计划支持的150名教师居民将获得国家委员会认证：国家科学教学许可证/认证，硕士？的程度，并开始。目标是提高教师的保留率和多样性。指导这一重点的研究问题是：培训STEM毕业生是否会对K12教学质量、教师效能感和满意度、STEM教师保留率和学生产生重大影响？科学和数学成绩？一个准实验设计将是评估项目的有效性。used.to

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.
