项目摘要

The STEMteach program at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls (UWRF) is a Track 1 Noyce project which will enable individuals with a degree in science, technology (including computer science), engineering, or mathematics (STEM) to become certified middle or high school science, computer science, and/or mathematics teachers through one year of intensive study. The project is designed to meet regional and state needs for more highly-qualified and well-prepared teachers by providing a model that encourages recent STEM graduates and STEM professionals to bring their knowledge and life experiences into the classroom for the benefit of future generations of students. Through the NSF Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program, STEMteach will offer stipends to cover the majority of the cost of the program for seventy (70) future teachers who commit to teaching for two years in a high-needs district. Through a partnership with nearby Century College, a 2-year college, the program seeks to make teaching attractive and attainable for low-income and first generation college students as well as those underrepresented in STEM and STEM teaching. The grant will support early recruitment activities using 55 summer internships for STEM pre-major students from Century College, the largest source of transfer students to UWRF. Century College students benefit from this partnership through career readiness skill development (resume drafting, interview practice, and career exploration) as they apply for teaching internships related to computer science, engineering, and STEM education. Some of these interns may be able to transfer into a traditional undergraduate teacher preparation program, while others may find it advantageous to complete their STEM degree and then obtain their teacher preparation via the STEMteach program, or similar programs.STEMteach is a minimum 30 credit hour UTeach-inspired program that is designed to provide rigorous and efficient STEM-infused pedagogy for recent graduates and career changers, including veterans. It is an innovative graduate teaching certification program with three optional pathways for completing a Master's degree in education. In order to provide the preparation and field experiences deemed necessary for success in the classroom, candidates are counseled to "give up your day job." Through Noyce Scholar stipends, the financial burden associated with this requirement is lessened. The inquiry-based and STEM-infused program provides challenging graduate coursework and extensive field preparation. This promotes an understanding and synthesis of theory and practice, as well as a deep understanding of the challenges and rewards associated with teaching in diverse environments: urban/rural/suburban, high-needs/high performing schools, traditional, informal, and summer enrichment/summer remediation. STEMteach is centered around intentional and well-supported field experiences which utilize co-teaching. Early and intensive field experiences begin in the first course and continue throughout the program, culminating with apprentice teaching. Instruction occurs on the UWRF campus as well as in partner high-need school districts. This project will also provide funding of a Mathematics Master Teacher who will work in partnership with the UWRF existing Science Master teacher, recruiting 2-year College STEM students into internships, and increasing efforts to integrate computer science and computational thinking into the curriculum. Two types of internships will be offered; both are designed to give students a "taste of teaching:" 1) a two-week internship working with a UWRF-based STEM camp to gain experience with young students and 2) an internship to work directly with the STEMteach Master Teachers for 15 hours per week for 8 weeks in the day-to-day teaching activities of the STEMteach program.

威斯康星大学河瀑布分校(UWRF)的STEMteach项目是一项Noyce Track 1项目，该项目将使拥有科学、技术(包括计算机科学)、工程或数学(STEM)学位的个人通过一年的强化学习成为合格的初中或高中科学、计算机科学和/或数学教师。该项目旨在通过提供一种模式，鼓励应届STEM毕业生和STEM专业人员将他们的知识和生活经验带到课堂上，造福于未来一代学生，以满足地区和州对更高素质和更有准备的教师的需求。通过NSF Robert Noyce教师奖学金计划，STEMteach将为致力于在高需求地区任教两年的70(70)名未来教师提供津贴，以支付该计划的大部分费用。通过与附近的两年制学院世纪学院合作，该项目寻求使教学对低收入和第一代大学生以及在STEM和STEM教学中代表性不足的学生具有吸引力和可及性。这笔赠款将支持为世纪学院STEM专业预科学生提供55个暑期实习的早期招聘活动，世纪学院是UWRF转学学生的最大来源。世纪学院的学生在申请与计算机科学、工程和STEM教育相关的教学实习时，通过职业准备技能发展(简历起草、面试练习和职业探索)受益于这一合作伙伴关系。这些实习生中的一些人可能能够转到传统的本科教师培训计划，而另一些人可能会发现，完成STEM学位，然后通过STEMteach计划或类似计划获得教师准备是有利的。STEMteach是一项受UTeach启发的至少30学分的计划，旨在为新近毕业和转行的人(包括退伍军人)提供严格而高效的STEM教学方法。这是一个创新的研究生教学认证计划，有三个完成教育硕士学位的可选途径。为了提供被认为是在课堂上取得成功所必需的准备和实地经验，考生会被建议“放弃你的日常工作”。通过诺伊斯奖学金，与这一要求相关的财政负担得到了减轻。基于探究和STEM灌输的课程提供具有挑战性的研究生课程和广泛的实地准备。这促进了对理论和实践的理解和综合，以及对在不同环境中教学的挑战和回报的深刻理解：城市/农村/郊区、高需求/高表现学校、传统、非正式和暑期充实/暑期补习。STEMteach以有意识的、有良好支持的实地经验为中心，利用合作教学。早期和密集的实地体验从第一门课程开始，一直持续到整个项目，最终以学徒教学结束。教学在UWRF校园以及合作伙伴的高需求学区进行。该项目还将为一名数学硕士教师提供资金，该教师将与UWRF现有的科学硕士教师合作，招募两年制大学STEM学生参加实习，并加大努力将计算机科学和计算思维纳入课程。将提供两种类型的实习；两种类型的实习都是为了让学生体验一下教学：1)为期两周的实习，在UWRF的STEM营地工作，以获得与年轻学生接触的经验；2)在STEMteach计划的日常教学活动中，与STEMteach硕士教师直接合作，每周15小时，持续8周。
