Science Math Access, Research, and Teaching (SMART) is a Track 1 Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program project at California State University Stanislaus. SMART aims to address the severe shortage of STEM teachers in the university's service area. While the region has an overwhelmingly large K-12 minority student population, very few teachers are from underrepresented populations. As such, it is critical to increase the number of teachers who share their students' cultural heritage. The overarching goal of this project is to prepare a diverse group of mathematics and science teachers who can serve as role models and leaders in high-need schools in the region. SMART will establish professional learning communities and provide participants with pedagogical training, mentoring, and ongoing teaching experiences in highly diverse educational settings. The project will engage participants in carefully structured training and field experiences to help them develop subject matter knowledge, understanding of linguistics, language acquisition, academic language acquisition, and subject-specific methods to make content accessible to all students. Other project activities will include monthly cohort meetings, a summer research experience, and tutoring opportunities. In collaboration with school district teacher induction programs, SMART will develop a New Teacher Retention Program. This program will be aimed at providing incoming teachers with guidance and holistic support needed to teach mathematics and science to diverse student populations. Over a five-year period, SMART aims to increase the number of STEM credential candidates at CSU Stanislaus from 119 to 200. Half of these credential candidates will be students of minority backgrounds. SMART will recruit, prepare, and retain 31 Noyce scholars. Noyce scholars will include STEM majors from CSU Stanislaus and UC Merced, transfer students from nearby community colleges, and local career changers interested in entering the teaching profession. An energetic, capable, diverse community of STEM teachers has the potential to lower the educational barriers that minority and English Language Learner students often encounter when completing mathematics and science coursework. A significant percentage of CSU Stanislaus students are not only ethnically and linguistically diverse, but also are the first in their family to attend college. SMART will provide the educational community with a better understanding of the training and support systems needed to recruit and prepare students of minority background for a career as a teacher in a high-need school.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.

科学数学访问，研究和教学（SMART）是加州州立大学斯坦尼斯劳斯的一个轨道1罗伯特诺伊斯教师奖学金计划项目。SMART旨在解决大学服务区STEM教师严重短缺的问题。虽然该地区拥有大量K-12少数民族学生，但很少有教师来自代表性不足的人口。因此，增加分享学生文化遗产的教师人数至关重要。该项目的总体目标是培养一批多样化的数学和科学教师，他们可以成为该地区高需求学校的榜样和领导者。SMART将建立专业学习社区，并为参与者提供教学培训，指导和在高度多样化的教育环境中持续的教学经验。该项目将参与精心组织的培训和实地经验，以帮助他们发展主题知识，语言学，语言习得，学术语言习得的理解，以及特定主题的方法，使所有学生都能访问内容。其他项目活动将包括每月一次的队列会议，夏季研究经验和辅导机会。与学区教师入职培训计划合作，SMART将制定一项新的教师保留计划。该计划旨在为新教师提供指导和全面支持，以便向不同的学生群体教授数学和科学。在五年内，SMART的目标是将CSU Stanislaus的STEM证书候选人数量从119人增加到200人。这些证书候选人中有一半将是少数族裔背景的学生。SMART将招募、准备和保留31名诺伊斯学者。诺伊斯学者将包括来自CSU Stanislaus和UC默塞德的STEM专业，来自附近社区学院的转学生，以及有兴趣进入教师行业的当地职业转换者。一个充满活力，有能力，多元化的STEM教师社区有可能降低少数民族和英语学习者学生在完成数学和科学课程时经常遇到的教育障碍。CSU Stanislaus的学生中有很大一部分不仅种族和语言多样，而且是他们家庭中第一个上大学的人。SMART将使教育界更好地了解招聘和准备少数族裔学生在高需求学校担任教师所需的培训和支持系统。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。
