Preparing STEM Master Teacher Fellows

项目摘要

This Noyce Track 3 project at Mercy College, a Hispanic Serving Institution, will respond to the critical need for developing highly effective K-12 mathematics and science teacher leaders in the greater New York City area. Mercy College will partner with Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak and New York University's Tandon School of Engineering. The project will have an impact on students in high-need partner school districts in New York (Elmsford, New Rochelle, Ossining and Yonkers), who will benefit by having highly-qualified mathematics and science teacher leaders from underrepresented groups. Over a six-year period, the Track 3 project will prepare 14 in-service K-12 teachers of mathematics and science to become leaders in their school and district. The project's goals are to develop K-12 teacher leaders, with a focus on groups who are underrepresented in STEM; improve K-12 STEM instruction; increase understanding of teacher development for STEM pedagogy; and enhance understanding of Professional Learning Communities for STEM Faculty. The project will prepare STEM teacher leaders skilled in student-centered learning tied to real-world STEM issues and grounded in best practices. As a result, Fellows will be ready to support student achievement and interest in STEM and lead other teachers in improving STEM teaching and learning in their classrooms and schools. Mercy Fellows will engage in an intensive professional development program that includes STEM education coursework and professional experiences with partner institutions who have demonstrated excellence in teacher professional development. Project partners include the Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak, a nonprofit focused on environmental education and local connections. Partners will contribute enrichment activities and faculty expertise to the Mercy Noyce project. Fellows will benefit from faculty mentoring, bi-monthly meetings, funding for leadership projects, and receipt of salary supplements. These supports will prepare Fellows to implement high-quality STEM education practices in their high-need school and school district. The project will enhance teachers' ability to take on STEM leadership roles within their schools. With frequent contact and mentoring by STEM and education faculty at Mercy College, project leaders will guide Fellows through STEM education coursework, leadership projects, and professional presentations of their work. Project activities will be well-aligned with hallmarks of effective professional development and experiences to retain teachers in high-need school districts. A major component of the project is the vertical Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) that will support standards-based instruction. Data collected will inform the impacts of STEM pedagogy training using these communities to develop best practices, including those designed to recruit and engage traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM. Faculty collaboration across STEM and education departments and participation in PLCs will be examined to determine how they can best support STEM education coursework.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.

梅西学院（西班牙裔服务机构）的诺伊斯轨道 3 项目将满足大纽约市地区培养高效 K-12 数学和科学教师领导者的迫切需求。梅西学院将与位于 Beczak 的城市河莎拉·劳伦斯学院中心和纽约大学 Tandon 工程学院合作。该项目将对纽约高需求合作学区（埃尔姆斯福德、新罗谢尔、奥西宁和扬克斯）的学生产生影响，他们将受益于来自代表性不足群体的高素质数学和科学教师领导。在六年的时间内，Track 3 项目将培养 14 名在职 K-12 数学和科学教师成为所在学校和学区的领导者。该项目的目标是培养 K-12 教师领导者，重点关注 STEM 领域代表性不足的群体；改进 K-12 STEM 教学；增进对 STEM 教育学教师发展的理解；增强 STEM 教师对专业学习社区的了解。该项目将培养 STEM 教师领导者，他们擅长以学生为中心的学习，与现实世界的 STEM 问题相关，并以最佳实践为基础。因此，研究员将准备好支持学生在 STEM 方面的成就和兴趣，并带领其他教师改善课堂和学校的 STEM 教学。 Mercy Fellows 将参与强化专业发展计划，其中包括 STEM 教育课程以及与在教师专业发展方面表现出色的合作机构合作的专业经验。项目合作伙伴包括位于 Beczak 的萨拉劳伦斯城市河学院中心，这是一个专注于环境教育和当地联系的非营利组织。合作伙伴将为 Mercy Noyce 项目贡献丰富的活动和教师专业知识。研究员将受益于教师指导、每两个月一次的会议、领导力项目的资助以及工资补贴。这些支持将使研究员做好准备，在他们的高需求学校和学区实施高质量的 STEM 教育实践。该项目将提高教师在学校内担任 STEM 领导角色的能力。通过 Mercy College 的 STEM 和教育教师的频繁联系和指导，项目负责人将指导研究员完成 STEM 教育课程、领导力项目和专业的工作演示。项目活动将与有效的专业发展和经验的标志保持一致，以留住高需求学区的教师。该项目的一个主要组成部分是垂直专业学习社区（PLC），它将支持基于标准的教学。收集的数据将告知 STEM 教育学培训的影响，利用这些社区制定最佳实践，包括旨在招募和吸引传统上代表性不足的群体参与 STEM 的实践。将审查 STEM 和教育部门之间的教师合作以及 PLC 的参与，以确定他们如何最好地支持 STEM 教育课程。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
