Talented Teachers in Training for Texas, Expanded

该项目旨在满足国家的需要，为高需求学区提供高效的STEM教师。为此，它打算招募一批多样化的STEM本科生，并支持他们成为熟练的STEM教师。 该项目将采用两种战略来招聘未来的教师。 该项目将提供两个一个学分的课程在斯蒂芬F。奥斯汀州立大学和休斯顿北孤星星星学院。 这些课程旨在帮助STEM专业的学生探索STEM教学职业。 该项目还将通过为期一周的带薪STEM Master Teacher Job Shadow招聘未来的STEM教师，这将帮助STEM学生近距离体验STEM教学生涯。被招募成为认证教师的本科STEM专业学生将通过奖学金获得财政支持。 这些诺伊斯学者还将接受双周培训和强大的指导和辅导，将继续在他们的教学早期。该项目预计，这些支持将减少本科生的流失和STEM教师的流失。 该项目建立在由诺伊斯计划支持的两个以前的教师准备项目的基础设施。由Stephen F.奥斯汀州立大学与休斯顿北孤星星星学院合作，与安吉丽娜学院，基尔戈学院和泰勒初级学院合作，与拉夫金和纳科多奇斯独立学区（都是高需求），并与区域7教育服务中心合作。 该项目从JacksTeach的招聘基地开始工作，该招聘基地是斯蒂芬F。奥斯汀州立大学。 此外，学者将在大三之前从STEM Master Teacher Job Shadow招募STEM专业的学生。 该项目旨在招募和支持26名本科STEM专业的学生成为认证教师，并在高需求学区教授STEM至少四年。项目目标包括：通过参与JacksTeach或STEM Master Teach Job Shadows，吸引100多名STEM学生;招募将在STEM毕业并成为教师的忠诚STEM本科生;支持Noyce毕业生的专业发展和持续研究;并为学者提供文化相关教育学方面的专业知识。这个轨道1：奖学金和津贴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教师，成为高需求地区的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。

This project aims to serve the national need of preparing highly effective STEM teachers to serve in high-need school districts. To do so, it intends to recruit a diverse group of STEM undergraduate students and support them to become skilled STEM teachers. The project will use two strategies to recruit future teachers. The project will offer two one-credit courses on the campuses of Stephen F. Austin State University and Lone Star College Houston North. These courses are intended to help STEM majors explore a career in STEM teaching. The project will also recruit future STEM teachers through a one-week, paid STEM Master Teacher Job Shadow, which will help STEM students experience a STEM teaching career up close. The undergraduate STEM majors who are recruited to become certified teachers will be supported financially through scholarships. These Noyce Scholars will also receive biweekly training and robust mentoring and coaching that will continue in in their early years of teaching. The project expects that these supports will reduce both undergraduate attrition and STEM teacher attrition. This project builds upon the infrastructure of two previous teacher preparation projects supported by the Noyce Program. It is led by Stephen F. Austin State University in partnership with Lone Star College Houston North, in collaboration with Angelina College, Kilgore College, and Tyler Junior College, with Lufkin and Nacogdoches Independent School Districts (both high-need), and with the Region 7 Education Service Center. The project works from a recruiting base of JacksTeach, which is a replication of the nationally recognized UTeach program at Stephen F. Austin State University. In addition, Scholars will be recruited from the STEM Master Teacher Job Shadow for STEM majors prior to the junior year. The project aims to recruit and support 26 undergraduate STEM majors to become certified teachers and teach STEM in a high-need school district for at least four-years. Project aims include the following: engaging over 100 STEM students through participation in either the JacksTeach or STEM Master Teach Job Shadows; recruiting committed STEM undergraduates who will graduate in STEM and become teachers; supporting Noyce graduates with professional development and sustained research; and equipping Scholars with expertise in culturally relevant pedagogy. This Track 1: Scholarship and Stipends 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 teachers to become STEM master teachers in high-need 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.
