UPTEMPO: Upgrading the Path to Mathematics Teaching by Adding Express and Multiple On-ramps is a Robert Noyce Track 1: Scholarships & Stipends project at San Diego State University (SDSU). UPTEMPO aims to increase the number and diversity of highly-effective mathematics teachers in high-need California schools. At SDSU, several impediments prevent high-achieving students from considering mathematics teaching: (1) women and underrepresented minorities often feel that they do not belong in STEM fields; (2) those who are STEM majors rarely engage in authentic teaching experiences that pique their interest in education; and (3) students who are interested in teaching choose not to pursue a teaching career because they must complete and pay for a fifth-year credential program. UPTEMPO activities aim to address each of these impediments. The project will partner with Grossmont College, a nearby community college, to attract new candidates to STEM. To attract STEM majors to teaching, UPTEMPO will create multiple authentic teaching experiences. Experiences will range from tutoring (in a middle school, high school, or community college) to teaching labs for undergraduates enrolled in precalculus at SDSU. Additionally, to support STEM teacher prospects, the project will develop new pathways, also called on-ramps, to expedite SDSU students? ability to earn a mathematics teaching credential. Noyce Interns and Scholars will be mentored by SDSU's Noyce Master Teaching Fellows and other exemplary teachers in partnering school districts. UPTEMPO will support initiatives to attract (via new on-ramps) and retain (via authentic experiences and research-based coursework) candidates from Grossmont College and San Diego State University. The project aims to produce at least 44 new secondary teachers of mathematics by 2023. Thirty-two Noyce Scholars will be enrolled in SDSU's credential program as post-baccalaureates. The remaining 12 will be undergraduates enrolled in the institution's new 4-year teacher certification program. All Noyce Scholars will participate in teaching experiences in San Diego Unified School District or Sweetwater Union High School District, both of which are high-need school districts that are partnering with UPTEMPO. Given the lack of a single ?best way? to attract and retain teaching candidates, UPTEMPO will provide multiple pathways (or on-ramps) for Noyce Scholars and follow these Scholars through their first three years of teaching. This sustained interaction will provide the field with valuable research regarding the efficacy of specific affordances provided by the different pathways, as well as the ability of these affordances to meet specific candidate needs. The project will also investigate the process of supporting mathematics majors to develop caring perspectives toward students. As such, project could contribute to the diversification of the teaching community coupled with an ongoing supply of excellent teachers of mathematics for K-12 students.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.

UPTEMPO：通过添加Express和Multiple On-ramp升级数学教学之路是圣地亚哥州立大学（SDSU）的Robert Noyce轨道1：奖学金津贴项目。& UPTEMPO旨在增加高需求加州学校中高效数学教师的数量和多样性。在SDSU，有几个障碍阻止了成绩优异的学生考虑数学教学：（1）女性和代表性不足的少数民族往往觉得自己不属于STEM领域;（2）那些STEM专业的学生很少参与真正的教学经验，激发他们对教育的兴趣;（3）对教学感兴趣的学生选择不从事教学职业，因为他们必须完成并支付第五年的证书课程。UPTEMPO的活动旨在解决这些障碍中的每一个。该项目将与附近的社区学院Grossmont College合作，以吸引新的STEM候选人。为了吸引STEM专业的教学，UPTEMPO将创造多种真实的教学体验。经验将范围从辅导（在中学，高中，或社区学院）到教学实验室的本科生在SDSU就读于微积分前。此外，为了支持STEM教师的前景，该项目将开发新的途径，也称为坡道，以加快SDSU学生？有能力获得数学教学证书。诺伊斯实习生和学者将由SDSU的诺伊斯硕士教学研究员和其他模范教师在合作学区的指导。UPTEMPO将支持吸引（通过新的入口坡道）和留住（通过真实的经验和基于研究的课程）来自格罗斯蒙特学院和圣地亚哥州立大学的候选人的举措。该项目的目标是到2023年至少培养44名新的中学数学教师。32名诺伊斯学者将作为学士后毕业生参加SDSU的证书课程。其余12名将是该机构新的4年制教师认证课程的本科生。所有诺伊斯学者将参加在圣地亚哥联合学区或甜水联合高中区，这两个都是与UPTEMPO合作的高需求学区的教学经验。因为缺少一个人？最好的方式？为了吸引和留住教学候选人，UPTEMPO将为诺伊斯学者提供多种途径（或坡道），并在前三年的教学中跟踪这些学者。这种持续的互动将为该领域提供有关不同途径提供的特定启示的有效性以及这些启示满足特定候选人需求的能力的有价值的研究。该项目还将调查支持数学专业学生发展对学生的关怀观点的过程。因此，该项目可以促进教学社区的多样化，同时为K-12学生提供优秀的数学教师。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。
