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

探索研究K-12项目（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pre -12学生和教师对科学、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，为拟议的项目提供了理论和实证依据。杰克逊州立大学的这个项目将调查教师学院驻地模式在为南方高需求学校招募、许可、诱导、雇用和留住中学和中学科学和数学教师方面的有效性。该项目将为高需求的城市和农村学校培养来自历史悠久的黑人大学的新的、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，路易斯安那州泽维尔大学和阿肯色大学松Buff分校）以及密西西比州杰克逊的各种城市和农村学区的合作伙伴关系；路易斯安那州的新奥尔良；以及阿肯色州派恩布拉夫地区，该地区有超过17.5万名学生。参与者将包括150名当地中学教师，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：国家执照/证书在科学教学，硕士？S度和起始。目标是提高教师留任率和多元化率。指导这一重点的研究问题是：培养STEM毕业生是否对K12教学质量、教师效能和满意度、STEM教师留任率和学生有显著影响？科学和数学成绩？将采用准实验设计。评估项目的有效性。

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.
