项目摘要

This Track 1 Scholarships and Stipends Noyce project at the College of William and Mary (WM) aims to meet a national need for talented STEM teachers who are prepared and committed to teaching diverse communities of students in high-need schools. The project includes collaborations with six high needs school districts: Gloucester and New Kent Counties (rural); York and Williamsburg-James City Counties (suburban); and Newport News and Hampton (urban). A major project goal is developing a new model to: (1) interest outstanding mathematics majors in teaching; (2) help students sustain an enduring commitment to STEM teaching; and (3) develop students' ability to connect effectively with diverse communities. The project will work with the WM Office of Community Engagement to engage first- and second-year mathematics and science students in teaching activities and reflection. Working with WM community engagement staff, prospective teachers will explore issues of fair access to skills in mathematics and science for all students. These activities will expand preliminary research on factors that enhance the motivation of prospective teachers for STEM teaching. Once recruited into the Noyce Program, Noyce scholars will take two project-specific courses. The "How Students Learn" course will focus on how to teach learning skills and self-management. The other course, a Practicum in High Need Schools, will use early visits to high-need schools to help Noyce Scholars understand how skilled STEM teachers can effectively support student success. The project will also offer opportunities for experiences and courses in special education and teaching English language learners. The project will supplement cultural competency preparation in the curriculum with activities focused on equity-mindedness and working with diverse communities. Following placement of new STEM teachers in schools, a mentoring program will engage teachers in skill-building and problem-solving in their first years of teaching.This project intends to recruit and prepare 33 new teachers who are licensed in STEM disciplines. STEM majors will be recruited from two pools: (1) Undergraduate STEM majors, including transfer students, who will gain licensure as undergraduates or through a fifth-year master's program; and (2) Post-baccalaureates in STEM fields who will complete a master's program in mathematics or science education. Recruitment will focus on regional institutions, including those with high proportions of underrepresented minority students. Prospective mathematics and science teachers will be supported in gaining certification in science teaching for grades 6-12, and in mathematics teaching for grades K-8 or 6-12. Partners include six high-need school districts. The project intends to continue to develop existing partnerships with high-need schools to prepare more cooperating teachers to supervise and mentor Noyce Scholars during student teaching. A key objective is to integrate the project's data in a published model that can inform other programs to improve recruitment and preparation of STEM teachers. Through preparation of new STEM teachers and development of a model to initiate and sustain commitments to teaching in high-need schools, the project has the potential to support societal goals of effective preparation of teachers for diverse communities of learners.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.

威廉与玛丽学院（WM）的1轨奖学金和津贴Noyce项目旨在满足国家对有才华的STEM教师的需求，这些教师准备好并致力于在高需求学校教授不同社区的学生。该项目包括与六个高需求学区的合作：格洛斯特县和新肯特县（农村）；约克县和威廉斯堡-詹姆斯市县（郊区）；纽波特纽斯和汉普顿（市区）。一个主要的项目目标是开发一种新的模式：(1)培养优秀数学专业学生的教学兴趣；(2)帮助学生保持对STEM教学的持久承诺；(3)培养学生与不同社区有效联系的能力。该项目将与WM社区参与办公室合作，让一年级和二年级的数学和科学学生参与教学活动和反思。未来的教师将与WM社区参与人员合作，探讨所有学生公平获得数学和科学技能的问题。这些活动将扩大对增强准教师STEM教学动机的因素的初步研究。一旦被Noyce项目录取，Noyce学者将学习两门特定项目的课程。“学生如何学习”课程将侧重于如何教授学习技巧和自我管理。另一门课程是高需求学校的实习课程，将通过对高需求学校的早期访问，帮助诺伊斯学者了解熟练的STEM教师如何有效地支持学生的成功。该项目还将提供特殊教育和英语学习者教学经验和课程的机会。该项目将在课程中补充文化能力的准备，重点关注公平意识和与不同社区合作的活动。在将新的STEM教师安置到学校之后，一个指导计划将在教师的第一年教学中帮助他们培养技能和解决问题。本项目拟招聘和培养33名获得STEM学科许可的新教师。STEM专业的学生将从两个池子中招募：(1)本科STEM专业的学生，包括转校生，他们将获得本科或通过五年制硕士课程的执照；(2)在STEM领域完成数学或科学教育硕士课程的学士学位后。招聘将集中在地区院校，包括那些少数族裔学生比例较高的院校。未来的数学和科学教师将获得6-12年级的科学教学认证，以及K-8或6-12年级的数学教学认证。合作伙伴包括六个高需求学区。该项目打算继续发展与高需求学校的现有伙伴关系，以培养更多的合作教师，在学生教学期间监督和指导诺伊斯学者。一个关键目标是将该项目的数据整合到一个已发布的模型中，该模型可以为其他项目提供信息，以改善STEM教师的招聘和准备工作。通过培养新的STEM教师和开发一种模式来启动和维持高需求学校的教学承诺，该项目有可能支持为不同学习者社区有效培养教师的社会目标。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
