Jacksonville Teacher Residency Noyce Program to Prepare Math and Science Secondary Educators for High-Need Urban Schools

杰克逊维尔教师实习(JTR)诺伊斯计划为高需求城市学校培养数学和科学中等教育人员，该计划将招聘、准备和保留15名有才华的STEM专业人员，担任当地高需求城市学校的科学和数学教师和领导者。在为期五年的时间里，这个北佛罗里达大学(UNF)的JTR Noyce项目将提供一系列课程内容，以支持拥有数学、生物、化学、地质学、物理学、工程学或计算机科学本科或高级学位的STEM学位持有人。该计划将结合研究生学习，获得教学文学硕士(MAT)学位，在高需求的当地学区进行严格的学徒培训，与城市教育相关的专业发展，以及支持性的入职计划。这些支持将使JTR Noyce研究员成为高需求公立学校中高效的初中和高中STEM教育工作者。按照类似于医学实习的模式，JTR将把每个住院研究员与一名临床住院医师导师配对，后者是一名在城市学校工作的高效资深STEM教师。临床实习导师的经验和见解将帮助JTR Noyce研究员识别和克服导致城市教育工作者职业倦怠和高流失率的学生学习障碍和教学挑战。通过建立一支兼具STEM和教育专业知识的高素质城市教师领袖队伍，该项目将加强高需求学校的教与学，并培养一支具有知识、能力和决心培养STEM优秀的专家教师领袖队伍。该Track 2 NSF教学研究员项目旨在培养15名STEM专业人员，在高需求公立学校担任长期、高效的教师和领导者。JTR Noyce计划是联合国基金会教育与公共服务学院(培养教育工作者)、联合国基金会艺术与科学学院(包括数学系、统计系和生物系)、杰克逊维尔公共教育基金(JPEF)(一个为支持杰克逊维尔公立学校及其工作而存在的非营利性组织)以及为佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔服务的当地公立学区之间的合作伙伴关系。联合国基金会的教育、数学和科学教师之间的合作将确保联合国基金会的教师培训课程包括严格的STEM内容和有效的教学方法。反过来，UNF STEM教员将对公立中学教育环境有更多的认识，并将努力支持和深化STEM内容和JTRNoyce研究员的教学知识。该项目将在佛罗里达州数学和科学标准的背景下，将严格的STEM教学战略纳入联合国基金会的教师培训课程。这些相互关联的组成部分将导致在高需求学校进行更深入、更协作的STEM教与学。

The Jacksonville Teacher Residency (JTR) Noyce Program to Prepare Math and Science Secondary Educators for High-Need Urban Schools will recruit, prepare, and retain 15 talented STEM professionals to serve as science and mathematics teachers and leaders in local high-need urban schools. Over its five-year duration, this University of North Florida (UNF) JTR Noyce program will offer an array of programmatic components to support STEM degree holders with undergraduate or advanced degrees in mathematics, biology, chemistry, geology, physics, engineering, or computer science. The program will combine graduate study leading to a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree, rigorous apprenticeships in a high-need local school district, professional development related to urban education, and a supportive induction program. These supports will equip JTR Noyce Fellows to be highly effective middle and high school STEM educators in high-need public schools. Following a model akin to that of medical residencies, JTR will pair each resident Fellow with a Clinical Residency Mentor, a highly effective veteran STEM teacher in an urban school. The Clinical Residency Mentors' experiences and insights will help JTR Noyce Fellows identify and surmount both student barriers to learning and the teaching challenges that contribute to burnout and high turnover among urban educators. By creating a pipeline of highly qualified urban teacher leaders with both STEM and pedagogical expertise, this project will strengthen teaching and learning in high-need schools and develop a cadre of expert teacher leaders who have the knowledge, capacity, and commitment to foster STEM excellence.This Track 2 NSF Teaching Fellows project has the aim of preparing 15 STEM professionals to function as long-term, highly effective teachers and leaders in high-need public schools. The JTR Noyce Program is a partnership among UNF's College of Education and Human Services, which prepares educators; UNF's College of Arts and Sciences, including the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Biology; the Jacksonville Public Education Fund (JPEF), a nonprofit that exists to support Jacksonville public schools and their work; and the local public school district serving Jacksonville, Florida. Collaboration among education, mathematics, and science faculty at UNF will assure that UNF's teacher preparation curriculum includes rigorous STEM content and effective pedagogy. UNF STEM faculty, in turn, will become more cognizant of the public secondary education milieu and will work to support and deepen STEM content and pedagogical knowledge for JTR Noyce Fellows. The project will concomitantly integrate rigorous STEM pedagogical strategies in UNF's teacher preparation courses in the context of the Florida State Standards in Math and Science. These interlinked components will lead to more in-depth, collaborative STEM teaching and learning in high-need schools.
