Increasing and Diversifying the Mathematics Teacher Pipeline for High-Need Districts

在Robert Noyce教师奖学金计划（Noyce）的支持下，该项目旨在满足国家招聘和准备高素质中学数学教师的需求，这些教师致力于在高需求学区教学。这个项目有可能直接受益于伊利，宾夕法尼亚州社区招聘和培训数学教师的四个城市和农村宾夕法尼亚州学区：伊利（城市），易洛魁（城市），科里地区（农村），西北（农村）。100名学生将被招募到该项目的高中数学研究所，这是一个为期两年的项目，旨在探索数学作为一门学科和潜在的职业道路。每年，六名二年级的STEM本科生将与来自高需求学区的学生一起实习。作为他们在校园内的方法培训的一部分，本科诺伊斯学者将设计和教授来自合作学区的访问K - 12学生的课程。项目调查人员将通过指导和专业发展机会为诺伊斯校友提供持续的支持。十六个本科数学专业将获得诺伊斯奖学金在该项目的五年时间。每个本科生学者将被分配两个诺伊斯导师从合作学区。学者将完成实地经验，并在农村和城市合作区为期一周的沉浸。该项目旨在：（1）增加该机构的中学数学教育和数学课程的双专业毕业生的数量;（2）为当地高需求学区的学生提供丰富的数学经验;（3）为诺伊斯学者提供经验，促进在高需求学区工作的积极态度;（4）装备和支持诺伊斯学者在高需求学区取得成功的职业生涯。评估这些目标的进展将利用调查，论文，经验教训的意见，和离职面谈。结果将通过会议报告和学术文章传播到更广泛的数学教育界。诺伊斯计划支持有才华的STEM本科专业和专业人士成为高需求学区的有效K - 12数学和科学教师，以及经验丰富的模范K - 12 STEM教师成为STEM大师。该奖项反映了NSF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。

With support from the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce), this Track 1: Scholarships and Stipends project aims to serve the national need of recruiting and preparing highly-qualified secondary mathematics teachers who are dedicated to teaching in high-need school districts. This project has the potential to directly benefit the Erie, Pennsylvania community by recruiting and training mathematics teachers for four urban and rural Pennsylvania school districts: Erie (urban), Iroquois (urban), Corry Area (rural), and Northwestern (rural). One hundred students will be recruited to the project's High School Mathematics Institute, a two-year program exploring mathematics as a discipline and potential career path. Each year, an internship experience will engage six sophomore STEM undergraduates with students from high-need school districts. As a part of their on-campus methods training, undergraduate Noyce scholars will design and teach lessons for visiting K - 12 students from partnering school districts. Project investigators will provide continued support for Noyce alumni through mentorship and professional development opportunities. Sixteen undergraduate mathematics majors will be awarded Noyce scholarships over the project's five-year duration. Each undergraduate scholar will be assigned two Noyce mentors from partnering school districts. Scholars will complete field experiences and one-week immersions in both rural and urban partnering districts. The project aims to: (1) increase the number of dual-major graduates from the institution's secondary mathematics education and mathematics programs; (2) provide rich mathematical experiences for students from local high-need school districts; (3) provide experiences for Noyce scholars that promote positive dispositions for working in high-need school districts; and (4) equip and support Noyce scholars for successful careers in high-need school districts. Evaluation of progress toward these goals will utilize surveys, essays, lesson observations, and exit interviews. Results will be disseminated to the broader mathematics education community through conference presentations and scholarly articles. The Noyce program supports talented STEM undergraduate majors and professionals to become effective K - 12 mathematics and science teachers in high-need school districts and experienced, exemplary K - 12 STEM teachers to become STEM master teachers. It also supports research on the persistence, retention, and effectiveness of K - 12 teachers in high-need school districts.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.
