North Carolina High School Mathematics Master Teacher Fellows Program

在罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的支持下，这个轨道3：硕士教学奖学金项目旨在满足国家在高需求学区提高高效中学数学教师领导者发展的需求。由该项目准备的20位硕士教师中的每一位每年将教授大约150名学生。因此，在为期五年的项目期间，高需求北卡罗来纳州学区多达15,000名学生将接受高素质数学教师领导的数学指导。该项目旨在借鉴北卡罗来纳州州立大学的两个诺伊斯奖学金项目和北卡罗来纳州Quest赠款的经验，以支持实践高中数学教师实施新的国家数学标准。该项目包括北卡罗来纳州州立大学、创新项目和创新项目之间的合作伙伴关系。（一个致力于改善北卡罗来纳州所有学生教育的非营利组织），以及当地四个高需求学区（卡巴鲁斯县学校，芒特艾里市学校，罗金厄姆县学校和韦恩县学校）。该项目旨在为北卡罗来纳州的20名数学硕士教师做好准备。每批名师研究员将包括来自每个合作的高需求学区的两名教师。 在为期五年的项目期间，研究员将完成数学教育的研究生课程，满足青少年和青年数学国家委员会认证的要求。 此外，他们将参加导师培训，学习如何支持学生教师和早期职业教师，并将参与领导力专业发展。评价活动有可能提供深入了解该项目如何：（一）准备和留住有经验的数学教师领导;（二）影响教师作为数学教师和教师领导的有效性;（二）影响参与地区教师领导技能的发展。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 STEM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。

With support from the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, this Track 3: Master Teaching Fellowships project aims to serve the national need of improving the development of highly effective secondary mathematics teacher leaders in high-need school districts. Each of the twenty Master Teachers prepared by the project will teach approximately 150 students per year. As a result, over the duration of the five-year project, up to 15,000 students in high-need North Carolina school districts will receive mathematics instruction from a highly qualified mathematics teacher leader. The project aims to build on experiences from two prior Noyce scholarship programs at North Carolina State University and a North Carolina Quest grant to support practicing high school mathematics teachers to implement new state standards for mathematics.This project includes partnerships between North Carolina State University, The Innovation Project (a nonprofit organization committed to improving education for all students in North Carolina), and four local high-need school districts (Cabarrus County Schools, Mount Airy City Schools, Rockingham County Schools, and Wayne County Schools). The project aims to prepare twenty mathematics Master Teachers across the state of North Carolina. Each cohort of Master Teacher Fellows will include two teachers from each of the partnering high-need school districts. During the five-year project, Fellows will complete graduate coursework in mathematics education, fulfilling requirements for National Board Certification in Adolescence and Young Adulthood Mathematics. In addition, they will engage in mentorship training to learn how to support student teachers and early career teachers, and will participate in leadership professional development. Evaluation activities have the potential to provide insights into how the project: (i) prepares and retains experienced mathematics teacher leaders; (ii) influences teachers' effectiveness as mathematics teachers and teacher leaders; and (ii) impacts the development of leadership skills in teachers at participating districts. The Noyce program supports talented STEM undergraduate majors and professionals to become effective K-12 STEM 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 STEM 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.
