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

杰克逊维尔教师驻留（JTR） Noyce计划为高需求城市学校准备数学和科学中学教育工作者，将招募，准备和留住15名有才华的STEM专业人员，作为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，北佛罗里达大学（UNF） JTR Noyce计划将提供一系列程序化组件，以支持具有数学，生物学，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，以获得教学硕士学位（MAT），在高需求的当地学区严格的学徒制，与城市教育相关的专业发展，以及支持性的入门计划。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。按照类似于住院医师的模式，JTR将为每位住院医师配对一位临床住院医师导师，一位在城市学校高效的资深STEM教师。临床住院医师导师的经验和见解将帮助JTR Noyce研究员识别和克服学生的学习障碍和教学挑战，这些障碍和挑战导致了城市教育工作者的倦怠和高流失率。通过培养具有STEM和教学专业知识的高素质城市教师领导，该项目将加强高需求学校的教学和学习，培养一批具有知识、能力和承诺的专业教师领导干部，以促进STEM卓越。该项目旨在培养15名STEM专业人士，使他们成为高需求公立学校的长期高效教师和领导者。JTR Noyce计划是UNF教育与人类服务学院的合作伙伴关系，该学院为教育工作者提供培训；UNF的文理学院，包括数学系、统计学系和生物系；杰克逊维尔公共教育基金（JPEF），一个支持杰克逊维尔公立学校及其工作的非营利组织；以及为佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔市服务的当地公立学区。UNF的教育、数学和科学教师之间的合作将确保UNF的教师准备课程包括严格的STEM内容和有效的教学法。反过来，UNF STEM教师将更加了解公立中等教育环境，并将努力支持和深化JTR Noyce研究员的STEM内容和教学知识。该项目将同时在佛罗里达州数学和科学标准的背景下，将严格的STEM教学策略整合到UNF的教师准备课程中。这些相互关联的组成部分将在高需求学校带来更深入、更协作的STEM教学和学习。

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.
