Transitioning Math Majors into Teaching (TMMT) is a Noyce Track I project designed to encourage talented mathematics majors to become secondary school mathematics teachers. The project seeks to recruit and prepare highly effective mathematics teachers in high-need local educational agencies as well as increase the number of highly qualified secondary math teachers. TMMT is a collaboration between California State University, Fullerton (CSUF), the Anaheim Union High School District (UHSD), Santa Ana Unified School District (AUSD) and Santa Ana Community College (SAC). Each year for five years, the CSUF College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and College of Education, and math faculty at SAC will actively reach out to the STEM majors and identify and recruit 11 Noyce Associates and 10 Noyce Scholars into a mathematics teaching concentration. The TMMT project will provide internships for the Noyce Associates and scholarships for Noyce Scholars. Freshmen and Sophomore students at CSUF and SAC will be recruited to be Noyce Associates and receive intentional mentoring experiences and internships, including content and teaching seminars hosted by the two institutions, tutoring opportunities, and visitations to partner secondary school math classrooms. Associates will be groomed to become Noyce Scholars during their Junior, Senior, and post baccalaureate credential year. This collaboration seeks to create a continuum of experiences in teaching secondary school mathematics for future teachers, from the first year of college through the post-baccalaureate credential year.Associates and Scholars will be provided with a range of enrichment and supportive experiences. After Scholars transition into their first teaching jobs, TMMT will provide induction support, including the launch of a Math Teachers' Circle at CSUF. (These are professional communities of K-12 mathematics teachers and mathematicians that meet regularly to work on rich mathematics problems, allowing teachers to enrich their knowledge and experience of math, while building meaningful partnerships with other teachers and mathematicians.) In this way, TMMT will help support the Associates' and Scholars' development into highly effective mathematics teachers who persist in their careers. At the same time, TMMT will create an effective, sustainable model for preparing prospective secondary school mathematics teachers who transfer in a teaching track from community college to a four-year institution, thus adding new knowledge on how to streamline this process. The project will examine the effectiveness of mentoring on persistence rates and success in achieving a degree and teaching credential. Results will be disseminated via the TMMT website as well as through professional organizations such as Mathematical Association of America (MAA), the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), and the Math Teacher Education Partnership (MTE-Partnership). CSUF and SAC are Hispanic-serving institutions and Anaheim UHSD and Santa Ana USD are high-need school districts in Orange County, CA. Because the Noyce Scholars will seek to include diverse groups, the Scholars will serve as role models and mentors for diverse students, thus promoting access to mathematics and science careers for diverse secondary students in the CSUF service area.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.

将数学专业转化为教学(TMMT)是Noyce Track I项目，旨在鼓励有天赋的数学专业学生成为中学数学教师。该项目寻求在高需求的地方教育机构招聘和培养高效率的数学教师，并增加高素质中学数学教师的数量。TMMT是加州州立大学富勒顿分校(CSUF)、阿纳海姆联合高中学区(UHSD)、圣安娜联合学区(AU.S.)和圣安娜社区学院(SAC)合作的项目。在五年的时间里，CSUF自然科学与数学学院和教育学院以及SAC的数学教师将积极接触STEM专业的学生，并确定并招募11名诺伊斯助理教授和10名诺伊斯学者进入数学教学中心。TMMT项目将为诺伊斯协会提供实习机会，并为诺伊斯学者提供奖学金。CSUF和SAC的大一和大二学生将被招募为Noyce Associates，并获得有意的指导经验和实习机会，包括由两家机构举办的内容和教学研讨会，辅导机会，以及访问合作中学的数学教室。律师将被培养成为诺伊斯学者在他们的初级，高级，和后学士学位证书年。这项合作旨在为未来的教师创造一个连续的中学数学教学经验体系，从大学第一年到学士学位毕业后的证书年。伙伴和学者将获得一系列丰富和支持的经验。在学者过渡到他们的第一个教学工作后，TMMT将提供入职支持，包括在CSUF发起一个数学教师圈。(这些是由K-12数学教师和数学家组成的专业社区，他们定期会面，解决丰富的数学问题，使教师能够丰富他们的数学知识和经验，同时与其他教师和数学家建立有意义的伙伴关系。)通过这种方式，TMMT将有助于支持准会员和学者发展成为坚持自己职业生涯的高效数学教师。同时，TMMT将创建一个有效的、可持续的模式，培养未来的中学数学教师，他们将从社区学院转到四年制院校，从而增加如何简化这一过程的新知识。该项目将检验辅导在持续率和成功获得学位和教师资格方面的有效性。结果将通过TMMT网站以及美国数学协会(MAA)、全国数学教师理事会(NCTM)和数学教师教育伙伴关系(MTE-Partnership)等专业组织传播。CSUF和SAC是为拉美裔服务的机构，阿纳海姆大学和圣安娜联合大学是加利福尼亚州奥兰治县的高需求学区。由于诺伊斯奖学金将寻求纳入不同的群体，学者将作为不同学生的榜样和导师，从而促进在CSUF服务领域的不同中学生获得数学和科学职业的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
