项目摘要

This project aims to serve the national need of preparing quality STEM teachers for multicultural classrooms and high-needs school districts. Spring Hill College is in a region of Alabama that has a high need for qualified STEM teachers to serve the needs of local students. The project intends to help meet this need, starting with planning how to increase interest in teaching careers. To this end, the project will survey early STEM undergraduate majors about their career goals, interests, and awareness of opportunities in teaching. The resulting data are expected to assist the project in identifying effective strategies to promote teaching careers. In addition, the project intends to increase the interest of high school students in STEM teaching. The development of hands-on opportunities for high school and college STEM students to engage in teaching experiences and results of the project the evaluation are expected to guide development of the College's teacher preparation pathways. This project at Spring Hill College includes partnerships with Mobile County Public Schools, a high need district with approximately 58,000 K-12 students. Spring Hill College intends to develop and test how curricular and outreach programming, including community outreach events that engage students and families in hands-on STEM experiences, may help students explore STEM teaching opportunities. Ultimately, the aim of these efforts is to elevate the value of STEM teaching careers, thus building capacity to attract and develop a new pipeline of highly capable secondary mathematics and science teachers for the region's schools. 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为多元文化教室和高需求学区培养高质量STEM教师的需求。斯普林希尔学院位于亚拉巴马的一个地区，该地区非常需要合格的STEM教师来满足当地学生的需求。该项目旨在帮助满足这一需求，从规划如何提高对教学职业的兴趣开始。为此，该项目将调查早期STEM本科专业的职业目标，兴趣和对教学机会的认识。预计由此产生的数据将有助于该项目确定促进教师职业的有效战略。此外，该项目旨在提高高中学生对STEM教学的兴趣。高中和大学STEM学生参与教学经验和项目评估结果的实践机会的发展预计将指导学院教师准备途径的发展。斯普林希尔学院的这个项目包括与移动的县公立学校的合作伙伴关系，这是一个高需求区，约有58,000名K-12学生。斯普林希尔学院打算开发和测试如何课程和外展计划，包括社区外展活动，让学生和家庭参与实践STEM经验，可以帮助学生探索STEM教学机会。最终，这些努力的目的是提高STEM教学职业的价值，从而建立能力，为该地区的学校吸引和培养一批新的高能力中学数学和科学教师。这个能力建设项目是通过罗伯特诺伊斯教师奖学金计划（诺伊斯）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有效的K-12 STEM教师和经验丰富的模范K-12 STEM教师，成为高需求学区的STEM硕士教师。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。
