The Making Noyce in New Hampshire: Building Capacity for a Statewide Master Teachers Program is a Capacity Building project in preparation for a Track 3 Master Teaching Fellowships proposal in the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program. The project has a goal of bringing together key stakeholders from across the state to develop a future Noyce Master Teaching Fellowships project in New Hampshire (NH). This project comes at a critical time for New Hampshire because of science education's shift toward Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the development of new statewide performance assessments, and a changing student demographic. In order to have a competitive STEM workforce in the future, teachers will need strong STEM pedagogy and a curriculum that improves the educational opportunities and achievements for all students, including the underachieving student populations of the socioeconomically disadvantaged, English language learners, and racial/ethnic minorities. The project team will bring together key stakeholders in NH to develop a proposal for high-need school districts to provide opportunities for teachers to become Master Teachers in their districts. The primary partners of this Noyce Capacity Building project will include the NH State Department of Education; two key school districts: Rochester and Nashua, NH; two professional societies: the NH Science Teachers Association and the NH State Math Teachers Association; and the University of New Hampshire, including STEM education researchers and teacher professional development expertise from the university. Given the size and autonomy of NH, implementing a statewide program for Master Teachers will require a significant partnership building and needs assessment. During the capacity building period, the project will bring together these key stakeholders to conduct a needs assessment and develop a statewide program proposal. The Making Noyce in New Hampshire project will have the following primary goals: 1) establishing strong within-district STEM pedagogy expertise, 2) developing and sustaining enhanced science and mathematics learning for students, and 3) developing and delivering STEM instruction and curricula that improve the educational opportunities and achievements of underachieving student populations. The project's long term goal includes advancing the capacity of STEM teachers to become teacher leaders in high-need school districts. This project recognizes that identifying and placing Master Teachers will not be successful without the creation of a network that understands the needs of individual districts and teacher candidates. As such, this capacity building project will allow us to work towards a successful model for Master Teachers in NH, one that will work in school districts across the state and could be used as a model for other states that are challenged with changing standards and student demographics.

“在新罕布什尔州制造Noyce：为一个州范围内的硕士教师项目进行能力建设”是一个能力建设项目，为Robert Noyce教师奖学金项目中的第三轨道硕士教学奖学金提案做准备。该项目的目标是将来自全州的主要利益相关者聚集在一起，在新罕布什尔州（NH）开发一个未来的Noyce硕士教学奖学金项目。这个项目出现在新罕布什尔州的关键时刻，因为科学教育向下一代科学标准（NGSS）的转变，新的全州绩效评估的发展，以及学生人口的变化。为了在未来拥有一支具有竞争力的STEM劳动力队伍，教师将需要强有力的STEM教学法和课程，为所有学生提供更好的教育机会和成就，包括社会经济弱势群体、英语学习者和少数种族/族裔的学习成绩不佳的学生群体。项目团队将召集NH的主要利益相关者，为高需求学区制定一项提案，为教师提供成为所在学区Master teacher的机会。Noyce能力建设项目的主要合作伙伴将包括新罕布什尔州教育部；两个重点学区：新罕布什尔州的罗切斯特和纳舒厄；两个专业协会：新罕布什尔州科学教师协会和新罕布什尔州州数学教师协会；以及新罕布什尔大学，包括该大学的STEM教育研究人员和教师专业发展专业知识。鉴于NH的规模和自主权，在全州范围内实施硕士教师计划将需要建立重要的伙伴关系和需求评估。在能力建设期间，该项目将召集这些关键利益相关者进行需求评估，并制定全州范围的计划提案。新罕布什尔州的“制造奇迹”项目将有以下主要目标：1)在地区内建立强大的STEM教学法专业知识，2)为学生发展和维持增强的科学和数学学习，以及3)开发和提供STEM教学和课程，以改善表现不佳的学生群体的教育机会和成就。该项目的长期目标包括提高STEM教师的能力，使其成为高需求学区的教师领导者。该项目认识到，如果没有建立一个了解各个地区和教师候选人需求的网络，就无法成功地确定和安置大师教师。因此，这个能力建设项目将使我们能够为北达科他州的硕士教师建立一个成功的模式，这个模式将在全州的学区中发挥作用，并可以作为其他面临标准变化和学生人口统计挑战的州的典范。
