Collaboration for Excellence in Science and Math Education II

在科学和数学教育卓越合作II项目是罗伯特诺伊斯轨道1奖学金津贴项目在亚拉巴马伯明翰大学（UAB）。该项目加入了UAB的社区外展发展中心，UABTeach和劳森州立社区学院（LSCC），一个当地的历史黑人学院。通过这些伙伴关系，该项目旨在增加该国这一高需求地区的STEM中学教师人数，并建立一个新的学生管道，以中等教育STEM职业。在为期五年的项目期间，至少有42名本科STEM专业和STEM学士后将获得诺伊斯奖学金，成为STEM教师。在毕业生在高需求学校任教的头几年，将通过上岗培训继续支持所有学者。该项目还将向社区大学生介绍STEM教学职业。这种经验将通过学术和实践经验的计划为社区学院的学生提供发展支持，这些计划通过科学学士学位或硕士学位获得STEM教师认证，并获得中等STEM教育（MAEd）认证。该项目将调查三种模式的有用性和成功性，以准备STEM教师：模型类型1是一个多年计划，将从事第一和第二年的学生，并提供奖学金，以大三和大四STEM专业;模型类型2将从事学生在他们的第三或第四年在STEM专业，导致第五年MAEd学位与教师认证; Model Type 3是一个为期一年的项目，将吸引已经拥有STEM学士学位的职业改变者。1型学生将通过在UAB或LSCC参加基于探究的课程以及为初中或高中学生提供的非正式夏季STEM课程来进入该计划。许多MAEd学生将通过参加UAB夏季科学学院的主持人进入该计划，这将为他们提供基于探究的教育和深入的STEM教育体验。这些模式将积极招募目前在中等STEM教育中代表性不足的学生。该项目将通过课堂访问，专业学习社区，UAB教师支持和资源，通过许多中心的拓展发展计划，中学STEM教育的毕业生。该项目的目标是培养一支优秀的教师队伍，他们将继续从事中等STEM教育，并致力于在高需求学校教授和即兴STEM教育，并增加这三个项目如何以及为什么成功的知识基础。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

The Collaboration for Excellence in Science and Math Education II project is a Robert Noyce Track 1 Scholarships & Stipends project at the University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB). The project joins UAB's Center for Community OutReach Development, UABTeach, and Lawson State Community College (LSCC), a local Historically Black College. Through these partnerships, the project aims to increase the number of STEM secondary teachers in this high-need area of the country and build a new student pipeline to secondary education STEM careers. Over the five-year project period, at least 42 undergraduate STEM majors and STEM post-baccalaureates will receive Noyce scholarships to become STEM teachers. Support for all scholars will continue through induction efforts during the graduates' first years in teaching in high-need schools. The project will also introduce community college students to STEM teaching careers. This experience will provide developmental support for community college students through a program of academics and practical experiences that lead to STEM teacher certification through either a Bachelor of Science degree or a master's degree with certification in secondary STEM education (MAEd). The project will investigate the usefulness and success of three models for preparing STEM teachers: Model Type 1 is a multi-year program that will engage first and second year students and provide scholarships to juniors and senior STEM majors; Model Type 2 will engage students in their third or fourth year in a STEM major, leading to a 5th year MAEd degree with teacher certification; and Model Type 3 is a one-year program that will engage career changers who already have a STEM bachelor's degree. Model Type 1 students will enter the program by taking inquiry-based courses at UAB or LSCC and informal summer STEM programs for middle school or high school students. Many of the MAEd students will enter the program by participating as facilitators in UAB's Summer Science Institute, which will provide them with a taste of inquiry-based education and in-depth STEM educational experiences. The models will aggressively recruit students who are currently underrepresented in secondary STEM education. This project will support the graduates via classroom visits, Professional Learning Communities, UAB faculty support, and resources via many Center for OutReach Development programs for secondary STEM education. The project goal is to create a cadre of excellent teachers who will remain in secondary STEM education and be committed to teaching and improvising STEM education in high needs schools and to add to the knowledge base of how and why these three programs are successful.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
