项目摘要

Hood Colleges Recruiting, Preparing and Retaining Excellent STEM Teachers: Noyce Teacher Education Partnership (Track 1: Scholarships & Stipends) project will address the national need for STEM teachers who have strong subject-matter backgrounds and quality teacher preparation. This national need is evident in Maryland's critical shortage of STEM teachers, where STEM teachers often must be recruited from other states. Hood College's Noyce Teacher Education Partnership will be conducted as a collaboration between Hood College, Frederick Community College, and Frederick County Public Schools. The project will recruit and provide scholarships, specialized teacher preparation, and mentoring to 22 biology, chemistry, and mathematics students who will become teachers in high-need schools. Major program features will be (1) robust subject-matter preparation; (2) high-quality teacher preparation, including an opportunity to earn computer science endorsement; (3) collaboration between a college, a two-year institution, and a high-need school district; and (4) support mechanisms such as seminars, mentoring, field trips, student research, and summer internships working with at-risk youth in STEM. Benefits will be broad-reaching. Program graduates will be highly-qualified based on their participation in scientific inquiry and STEM problem-solving. The education program will prepare scholars for cultural diversity as they rotate through several school settings. Long-term partnerships between institutions will serve as a model of collaboration. The effectiveness of the program elements will be assessed, particularly for the internships, STEM teacher preparation methods, and summer scientific inquiry opportunities.The Noyce Teacher Education Partnership project will be a model program for recruiting diverse students into STEM teacher education, preparing them to work effectively and to be culturally responsive, and supporting them so they are retained in high-need school placements. The goals will be to recruit, retain, and graduate 22 secondary STEM teaching candidates; to promote their retention through mentoring efforts and financial and professional support; to build their cultural proficiency and professional skills; and to institutionalize program elements based on evaluation findings. Strategies to strengthen the depth and breadth of teacher preparation include the opportunity to complete research in a STEM area and teaching experiences at multiple partnership schools. Supplementary activities include a STEM 101 experience, seminars, workshops, field trips to build cultural competency, summer internships working with at-risk youth, and targeted advising and mentoring. With this strong preparation program, graduates will be poised to model STEM content knowledge excellence and scientific thinking, and inspire their own secondary students to consider STEM careers. The partnership with a community college and local public school system will result in collective institutional know-how for preparing culturally proficient secondary STEM teachers and a sustainable pipeline of future STEM educators. This model could be used to launch similar partnerships by other colleges and universities to develop their own pipeline of culturally responsive STEM teachers.

胡德学院招聘，准备和留住优秀的STEM教师：Noyce教师教育合作伙伴关系（第1条：奖学金和津贴）项目将解决全国对具有强大学科背景和高质量教师准备的STEM教师的需求。这种全国性的需求在马里兰州STEM教师的严重短缺中体现得很明显，那里的STEM教师通常必须从其他州招聘。胡德学院的Noyce教师教育伙伴关系将作为胡德学院、弗雷德里克社区学院和弗雷德里克县公立学校之间的合作进行。该项目将为22名生物、化学和数学专业的学生招聘并提供奖学金、专业教师培训和指导，这些学生将成为高需求学校的教师。主要项目特点将是(1)扎实的主题准备；(2)高质量的教师培训，包括获得计算机科学认可的机会；(3)大学、两年制大学和高需求学区之间的合作；(4)支持机制，如研讨会、指导、实地考察、学生研究以及与STEM领域有风险的青年一起工作的暑期实习。受益将是广泛的。该计划的毕业生将在参与科学探究和解决STEM问题的基础上获得高素质。该教育项目将使学者们在不同的学校环境中轮流学习，为文化多样性做好准备。各院校之间的长期伙伴关系将成为合作的典范。将评估项目要素的有效性，特别是实习、STEM教师培训方法和夏季科学探究机会。Noyce教师教育伙伴关系项目将成为一个模范项目，招募不同类型的学生参加STEM教师教育，为他们做好有效工作和文化响应的准备，并为他们提供支持，以便他们留在高需求的学校实习。目标将是招聘、保留和毕业22名中等STEM教学候选人；通过辅导工作以及财政和专业支持，促进他们的留用；培养他们的文化水平和专业技能；并根据评估结果将项目要素制度化。加强教师准备的深度和广度的策略包括有机会完成STEM领域的研究和在多个合作学校的教学经验。补充活动包括STEM 101体验、研讨会、讲习班、建立文化能力的实地考察、与风险青年一起工作的暑期实习，以及有针对性的建议和指导。有了这个强大的准备计划，毕业生将准备好建模STEM内容知识卓越和科学思维，并激励自己的中学生考虑STEM职业。与社区学院和当地公立学校系统的合作将产生集体机构知识，以培养精通文化的STEM中学教师，并为未来的STEM教育工作者提供可持续的管道。这一模式可以被其他学院和大学用来建立类似的伙伴关系，以发展他们自己的文化响应STEM教师的管道。
