This Noyce Track 1 project, Math and Science Scholars for the Inland Empire, aims to enhance mathematics and science teaching in San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD), one of California's most challenged public-school districts. This project will address the shortage of well-qualified secondary STEM teachers in SBCUSD through effective teacher preparation and support. It will also support long-term capacity building by expanding professional development activities for master teachers in the district, including training to effectively mentor new teachers. This project builds upon the success of prior Noyce grants and seeks to 1) strengthen and expand recruitment of both mathematics and science Scholars at California State University-San Bernardino, as well as master teachers in the SBCUSD who will mentor the Scholars; and 2) build a cadre of teacher leaders in the district who are effective at and passionate about mentoring both Noyce Scholars and new teacher at their schools.This project aims to recruit 25 secondary science and mathematics teachers from a viable pool of STEM majors at California State University-San Bernardino. The project will provide Noyce scholars with extensive preparation for teaching, including early field experiences in a high-need school. Supports from mentor teachers before and after the Noyce Scholars earn their teaching credentials are intended to assist in retaining these highly-qualified teachers in high need school districts. A new Early Teaching Experience in Mathematics and Science component will be introduced at the institution to improve recruitment of STEM majors, thus growing the pipeline of future STEM teachers. Additionally, the project will develop an innovative support network that features campus enrichment activities, an online Noyce Scholars community, and an extensive mentoring program with in-service teachers in the area. The project's research agenda includes investigation of the extent to which the classroom-based mentoring model that will be implemented improves teacher retention and new teacher preparedness. The overarching benefit of this project is in its intent to develop 25 well-prepared STEM teachers. The project also has potential value to other universities and districts that want to develop successful recruiting and mentoring programs for pre-service 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.

这个Noyce Track 1项目，内陆帝国的数学和科学学者，旨在加强圣贝纳迪诺市联合学区（SBCUSD）的数学和科学教学，这是加州最具挑战性的公立学区之一。该项目将通过有效的教师培训和支持，解决SBCUSD合格的中学STEM教师短缺的问题。它还将通过扩大该地区高级教师的专业发展活动，包括有效指导新教师的培训，来支持长期能力建设。该项目建立在先前Noyce资助的成功基础上，并寻求1)加强和扩大加州州立大学圣贝纳迪诺分校数学和科学学者的招聘，以及SBCUSD的硕士教师，他们将指导这些学者；2)在该地区建立一支教师领导干部队伍，他们能够有效并热情地指导诺伊斯奖学金获得者和他们学校的新教师。该项目旨在从加州州立大学圣贝纳迪诺分校可行的STEM专业中招募25名中学科学和数学教师。该项目将为Noyce学者提供广泛的教学准备，包括在高需求学校的早期实地经验。在诺伊斯学者获得教师资格证书之前和之后，导师的支持旨在帮助这些高素质的教师留在高需求的学区。该机构将引入新的“数学和科学早期教学经验”部分，以改善STEM专业的招聘，从而增加未来STEM教师的管道。此外，该项目还将开发一个创新的支持网络，以校园丰富活动、在线Noyce学者社区和该地区在职教师的广泛指导计划为特色。该项目的研究议程包括调查将实施的以课堂为基础的指导模式在多大程度上改善了教师留任和新教师准备。这个项目的最大好处在于它旨在培养25名准备充分的STEM教师。该项目对其他想要成功开发职前教师招聘和指导项目的大学和学区也有潜在价值。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。
