With funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program, University and Community College Collaboration for Mathematics and Biology Scholar Teacher Education will recruit undergraduate majors in mathematics and biology, and prepare them to teach at the high school level. The project will fund 45 scholarships over 5 years. In this project, Northeastern Illinois University will collaborate with Wilbur Wright and Harry S Truman Colleges and the Chicago Public Schools Offices of Math and Science. Faculty, coursework, and research will be shared across the Noyce learning community created by these four institutions, blending the experiences for the Noyce Scholars into a single, collaborative, multi-institutional program. In addition to building identities as collaborative scientists and educators, Noyce Scholars will benefit from a variety of supplemental activities, such as course-embedded research, guided summer research projects, and experiences with students and teachers in high-need schools. Additional supports for Noyce scholars include informal education programs, mentoring by faculty and master-teachers in biology and math, training for peer leadership in PLTL (Peer Led Team Learning) groups, and content-specific new teacher induction and mentoring after graduation. The program will also sponsor scholars' attendance at professional conferences as well as presentations of their research with peers and faculty partners. Building on these efforts, the project will seek answers to three questions: 1) What is the relationship between Noyce Scholars' experiences in this STEM teacher preparation program, with its emphasis on collaboration, and community building in their school communities via their engagement in collaborative practices? 2) To what extent do pre-service collaboration practices facilitate Scholars' collaboration in other parts of their academic program and later in their teaching careers? 3) Do teacher quality and teacher retention in high-need urban schools improve as a result of such collaborations?

在美国国家科学基金会罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的资助下，大学和社区学院数学和生物学者教师教育合作项目将招募数学和生物学本科专业的学生，并为他们在高中任教做好准备。该项目将在5年内资助45个奖学金。在这个项目中，东北伊利诺伊大学将与威尔伯赖特和哈里S杜鲁门学院和芝加哥公立学校的数学和科学办公室合作。教师，课程和研究将在由这四个机构创建的诺伊斯学习社区中共享，将诺伊斯学者的经验融合到一个单一的，协作的，多机构的计划中。除了建立作为协作科学家和教育工作者的身份外，诺伊斯学者还将受益于各种补充活动，例如课程嵌入式研究，指导夏季研究项目以及与高需求学校的学生和教师的经验。 对诺伊斯学者的其他支持包括非正式教育计划，由教师和生物学和数学大师指导，在PLTL（同伴领导的团队学习）小组中培训同伴领导力，以及毕业后特定内容的新教师入职和指导。该计划还将赞助学者出席专业会议，以及与同行和教师合作伙伴介绍他们的研究。在这些努力的基础上，该项目将寻求三个问题的答案：1）诺伊斯学者在这个STEM教师准备计划中的经验，其重点是合作，以及通过参与合作实践在学校社区中进行社区建设之间的关系是什么？2)职前合作实践在多大程度上促进了学者在其学术课程的其他部分以及后来的教学生涯中的合作？3)这种合作是否提高了高需求城市学校的教师质量和教师保留率？
