Urban Clinical Residency and Induction Support for Preparing Secondary STEM Teachers

印第安纳波利斯大学将开展“UIndy STEM3”项目，这是一个Noyce Track 1(奖学金和津贴)项目，将招聘和培养至少36名STEM毕业生和/或STEM专业人员，他们将致力于担任STEM中学教师。为了培养既具备教学内容又具备教学知识的高效STEM教师，该项目将在为期一年的临床实习中将课程作业与课堂实践相结合，在此期间，Noyce学者将在合作的高需求学区的合作导师教师的指导下工作。这之后将有两年的实习后辅导支持。为了加强在STEM课程中的学习，诺伊斯学者将把基于项目的学习作为一种教学策略。这一模式将培养诺伊斯学者作为教师领导者，他们能够：将内容知识转化为适应文化和发展的课程；采用各种策略来鼓励学生的识字、参与和自我效能；采用差异化教学来满足所有学生的需求；评估专业实践对学生成绩的影响；使用数据驱动的反思来修改专业实践；以及倡导高质量的城市教育。UIndy STEM3 Noyce倡议将通过以下方式示范教师准备的最佳实践：将临床实习经验与严格的课程工作相结合；大学与高需求的当地教育机构之间真实的合作关系；沙欣艺术与科学学院和教育学院的教职员工之间真正的合作。课程作业和临床实习经验将被整合到一个与当地教育机构日历一致的全日制课程中，并将使学者在一年内获得教学文科硕士(MAT)学位以及STEM内容领域的执照。将评估临床实习对诺伊斯学者和合作导师(CMT)的影响。此外，还将评估CMTS作为教师领导者通过他们与诺伊斯学者的接触以及他们与大学教员的关系而受益的程度。最终，这个项目的发现将有助于了解全国教学MAT计划中的文科硕士教师教育的有效实践，以及临床实习的好处。

The University of Indianapolis will undertake "UIndy STEM3", a Noyce Track 1 (Scholarships & Stipends) project that will recruit and prepare at least 36 STEM graduates and/or STEM professionals who are committed to serve as secondary STEM teachers. To prepare highly effective STEM teachers who possess both content and pedagogical knowledge, the project will integrate coursework with classroom practice in a year-long clinical residency, during which Noyce Scholars will work under the guidance of a cooperating mentor teacher in a partnering high-need school district. This will be followed by two years of post-residency mentoring support. To enhance learning in STEM courses, Noyce Scholars will incorporate project based learning as an instructional strategy. This model will prepare Noyce Scholars to serve as teacher leaders who are able to: translate content knowledge into culturally and developmentally responsive curricula; employ a variety of strategies to encourage students' literacy, engagement, and self-efficacy; employ differentiated instruction to meet the needs of all students; assess the impact of professional practice on student achievement; use data-driven reflection to modify professional practice; and advocate for high-quality urban education.The UIndy STEM3 Noyce Initiative will model best practices in teacher preparation through: the integration of a clinical residency experience with rigorous coursework; authentic collaborative relationships between the university and high-need local education agencies; and authentic collaboration between the faculty of the Shaheen College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education. Coursework and clinical residency experiences will be integrated in a full-time program aligned with local education agency calendars and will result in scholars earning, within one year, a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree along with licensure in a STEM contentarea. The impact of the clinical residency on both the Noyce Scholars and the cooperating mentor teachers (CMTs) will be evaluated. Additionally, the extent to which CMTs benefit as teacher leaders through their experience engaging Noyce Scholars and from their relationships with university faculty will be assessed. Ultimately, the findings from this project will contribute to the knowledge of effective practices in teacher education in Master of Arts in Teaching MAT programs throughout the country and the benefits of clinical residencies.
