Building a Dallas-area Mathematics Teacher Pipeline

这个诺伊斯能力建设项目在南卫理公会大学（SMU）的重点是帮助满足中学数学教师在达拉斯地区的需求。该项目旨在为SMU未来的Noyce Track 1奖学金计划建立能力，该计划将招募和准备扎根于当地的数学教师，以便在达拉斯独立学区内的高需求学校进行安置。 通过与达拉斯县社区学院区（DCCCD）合作，该项目旨在创建一个双招生招聘计划，为学生学者在SMU获得数学和教育研究双学位做好准备。该项目包括与巴德中心的工作人员合作，巴德中心是SMU教育学院的一个单位，专注于汇集西达拉斯的教育非营利组织。 这项合作旨在促进学生沉浸在整个西达拉斯的程序。该项目还将与来自达拉斯独立学区的代表合作，为学生学者提供成功的安置和持续的支持。该项目将致力于创建一个循环管道，通过该管道，参加DCCCD的当地学生将进入SMU，参加以社区为中心的培训计划，然后返回他们所在社区的高需求学校任教。由于DCCCD拥有高度多样化的学生群体，该项目还旨在提高达拉斯地区教师的多样性。该项目旨在教育和支持学生学者，使他们为在该地区学校任教做好充分准备，并更有可能留在这些学校。这些扎根于当地的教师的涌入可以填补达拉斯独立学区对忠诚的数学教师，特别是有色人种教师的需求。该项目旨在开发一个管道计划，用于培养数学教师，可以在达拉斯地区缺乏训练有素的数学教师的新社区实施。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。

This Noyce Capacity Building project at Southern Methodist University (SMU) focuses on helping to meet the need for secondary mathematics teachers in the Dallas area. This project aims to build capacity for a future Noyce Track 1 Scholarship program at SMU that will recruit and prepare locally-rooted mathematics teachers for placement in high-need schools within the Dallas Independent School District. By collaborating with Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD), this project seeks to create a dual-enrollment recruitment program that prepares student scholars for dual degrees in Mathematics and Educational Studies at SMU. The project includes a collaboration with staff from the Budd Center, a unit of SMU's School of Education focused on bringing together educational non-profits in West Dallas. This collaboration aims to facilitate student immersion in West Dallas throughout the program. The project will also work with representatives from Dallas Independent School District to make successful placements and provide ongoing support of the student scholars.The project will work to create a circular pipeline through which local students attending DCCCD would attend SMU, participate in a community-focused training program, and then return to teach in high-need schools in their home communities. As DCCCD has a highly diverse student body, this project also seeks to enhance the diversity of teachers in the Dallas-area. The project aims to educate and support the student scholars so that they will be well prepared to teach in the area schools and be more likely to stay in those schools. This influx of locally-rooted teachers could fill a need for committed mathematics teachers, especially teachers of color, in Dallas Independent School District. This project aims to develop a pipeline program for developing mathematics teachers that could be implemented in new communities in the Dallas area that have shortages of well-trained mathematics teachers.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.
