This project aims to contribute to the national need for highly effective mathematics and science teachers. Toward this goal, it will engage in a one-year planning/capacity building process to build the foundation for a teacher education program. Secondary schools, particularly those in high-priority districts, struggle to fill math and science vacancies every year. This project will examine the perceptions of undergraduate STEM students at Fisk University about teaching as a viable career option. It will also explore potential experiences that could support student recruitment and success as teachers and develop a trajectory into the teaching profession. In seeking to expand the number of STEM teachers, the project intends to build bridges between Fisk University students, experiences in Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, and the secondary education program at Vanderbilt University.This project at Fisk University, a Historically Black College and University, aims to strengthen existing partnerships with math and science teachers in Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools (a high-need school district), with Nashville State Community College, and with an existing Noyce Graduate Teaching Fellows program at Vanderbilt University. The overall project goal is to build the knowledge, community, and partnerships needed to increase the number of students recruited into STEM teaching at Fisk University. The proposal aims to develop an experiential curriculum and mentoring that will support recruitment and successful preparation of STEM majors to become licensed in secondary STEM teaching. Fisk University’s leadership in this work will help broaden participation in STEM teaching. This project intends to develop a model for teacher preparation that combines STEM mastery with teaching excellence, including preparation for using pedagogies infused with social justice. Formative evaluation will provide data to ground decision making and to improve development of the program. The summative evaluation will examine the degree to which project goals are achieved, including development of a STEM secondary teacher program at Fisk University. This Capacity Building project is supported through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce). The Noyce program supports talented STEM undergraduate majors and professionals to become effective K-12 STEM teachers and experienced, exemplary K-12 STEM teachers to become STEM master teachers in high-need school districts. 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.

该项目旨在满足国家对高效数学和科学教师的需求。 为了实现这一目标，它将进行为期一年的规划/能力建设过程，为教师教育计划奠定基础。中学，尤其是高优先级地区的中学，每年都在努力填补数学和科学的空缺。该项目将调查菲斯克大学 STEM 本科生对教学作为可行职业选择的看法。 它还将探索可以支持学生招募和教师成功的潜在经验，并发展进入教学职业的轨迹。为了扩大 STEM 教师的数量，该项目旨在在菲斯克大学学生、纳什维尔大都会公立学校的经验和范德比尔特大学的中等教育项目之间建立桥梁。菲斯克大学是一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学，该项目旨在加强与纳什维尔大都会公立学校（高需求学区）的数学和科学教师、纳什维尔州立社区学院和纳什维尔州立社区学院的现有合作伙伴关系。 范德比尔特大学现有的诺伊斯研究生教学研究员计划。项目的总体目标是建立所需的知识、社区和合作伙伴关系，以增加菲斯克大学 STEM 教学的学生数量。该提案旨在开发体验式课程和指导，以支持 STEM 专业的招募和成功准备，以获得中学 STEM 教学许可。 菲斯克大学在这项工作中的领导地位将有助于扩大 STEM 教学的参与范围。 该项目旨在开发一种教师准备模型，将 STEM 掌握与卓越教学相结合，包括准备使用充满社会正义的教学法。形成性评估将为地面决策提供数据并改进项目的开发。 总结性评估将审查项目目标的实现程度，包括菲斯克大学 STEM 中学教师计划的开发。该能力建设项目得到罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划（Noyce）的支持。诺伊斯计划支持有才华的 STEM 本科专业和专业人士成为高效的 K-12 STEM 教师，并支持经验丰富、堪称典范的 K-12 STEM 教师成为高需求学区的 STEM 大师级教师。它还支持对高需求学区 K-12 STEM 教师的持久性、保留性和有效性的研究。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
