California faces a shortage in qualified Science, Technology, Engineering and Math/Career and Technical Education (STEM/CTE) instructors who have the work experience, proficiency in academic subject areas, and pedagogical knowledge to effectively prepare high school and community college students for careers. With 32 trade and technical schools and 28 community colleges offering CTE programs in the San Francisco Bay Area alone, the need for well-prepared CTE teachers in this region is enormous. To meet the workforce needs of the science- and technology-focused economy of the San Francisco Bay Area, it is critical that CTE teacher preparation efforts include a commitment to increasing the pool of qualified STEM teachers at the secondary and community college level. The City College of San Francisco's "Growing CTE/STEM Teachers" project aims to ensure that clear pathways exist for future STEM/CTE teachers at the high school and community college levels. These pathways will include resources, support, information, courses, and partnerships with employers. The project will focus on those priority or emerging industry sectors identified by the California Community Colleges Chancellors Office. These include: advanced manufacturing; advanced transportation and renewables; agriculture, water and environmental technologies; energy efficiency and utilities; ICT/digital media; and life sciences/biotechnology. This project will carry out four primary activities in pursuit of its goal of increasing the pool of qualified STEM teachers at the secondary and community college level. First, the project team will engage in outreach to recruit high school students, community college students, and individuals already in the workforce into CTE/STEM teacher preparation pathways. Second, the principal investigators (PIs) will provide student support services to increase persistence and completion rates. Third, the PIs will provide technical assistance and professional development to other colleges in the region and statewide and serve as a clearinghouse for technical assistance and professional development, especially in the area of CTE/STEM teacher preparation. Finally, the project will advocate for CTE/STEM teacher preparation as a vital part of the statewide infrastructure supporting STEM-based CTE industries.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.

加州面临着合格的科学，技术，工程和数学/职业和技术教育（STEM/CTE）教师的短缺，这些教师具有工作经验，精通学术学科领域，以及教学知识，可以有效地为高中和社区大学学生的职业生涯做好准备。仅在旧金山弗朗西斯科湾区就有32所贸易和技术学校以及28所社区学院提供CTE课程，因此该地区对准备充分的CTE教师的需求是巨大的。为了满足旧金山弗朗西斯科以科学和技术为重点的经济的劳动力需求，CTE教师准备工作包括承诺增加中学和社区大学一级合格STEM教师的人数至关重要。旧金山城市学院弗朗西斯科的"成长中的CTE/STEM教师"项目旨在确保未来的STEM/CTE教师在高中和社区大学一级有明确的途径。这些途径将包括资源，支持，信息，课程以及与雇主的合作伙伴关系。该项目将集中在那些优先或新兴产业部门确定的加州社区学院校长办公室。其中包括：先进制造业;先进的运输和可再生能源;农业、水和环境技术;能源效率和公用事业;信息和通信技术/数字媒体;以及生命科学/生物技术。该项目将开展四项主要活动，以实现增加中学和社区学院合格STEM教师人数的目标。首先，项目团队将开展外联活动，招募高中生，社区大学生和已经在劳动力中的个人进入CTE/STEM教师准备途径。第二，主要研究者（PI）将提供学生支持服务，以提高持久性和完成率。第三，PI将为该地区和全州的其他学院提供技术援助和专业发展，并作为技术援助和专业发展的交流中心，特别是在CTE/STEM教师准备领域。最后，该项目将倡导CTE/STEM教师准备作为全州基础设施的重要组成部分，支持基于STEM的CTE行业。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。
