This project aims to serve the national need of developing highly effective science teachers who are skilled in creating equitable learning environments. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted traditional teaching environments and highlighted inequities in education, placing teachers at the front lines of social and educational change. This project seeks to equip secondary school teachers with the training and skills they need to support their students’ socio-emotional needs. The project leverages a network of university personnel, experienced teacher-mentors, and parents to support future science teachers as they navigate the challenges of teaching in high-need schools and build identities as science teaching professionals. The project seeks to empower future science teachers to positively impact students’ lives and increase teacher retention in education.This project at the University of Utah includes partnerships with Salt Lake Community College and the Granite and Salt Lake City School Districts. Project goals include 1) preparing 31 biology, chemistry, physics, and geoscience undergraduate and post-graduate students for teaching careers by providing streamlined coursework, financial support, and mentoring; 2) reforming the science methods course to model three-dimensional instruction (integration of disciplinary core ideas, science practices, and crosscutting concepts) and equitable instruction through the lens of environmental issues; and 3) building a community that supports future science teachers from their undergraduate years, through induction, and beyond. The project also intends to support in-service teachers to develop expertise in creating equitable classrooms, mentoring, and 3D instruction, as well as to create new knowledge about how case-studies that integrate 3D instruction with environmental issues may bridge the divide between theory and practice. Broader impact aims of the project include using a focus on environmental issues to recruit a new generation of teachers who are adept at addressing environmental and social change. This Track 1: Scholarships 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 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需要，培养高效的科学教师，使他们能够熟练地创造公平的学习环境。新冠肺炎大流行扰乱了传统的教学环境，突显了教育中的不平等，将教师置于社会和教育变革的第一线。该项目旨在使中学教师具备所需的培训和技能，以支持其学生的社会情感需求。该项目利用由大学人员、经验丰富的教师导师和家长组成的网络，支持未来的科学教师在高需求学校的教学挑战中驾驭，并建立作为科学教学专业人员的身份。该项目旨在使未来的科学教师能够积极影响学生的生活，并增加教师在教育中的留任率。犹他大学的这个项目包括与盐湖社区学院以及花岗岩和盐湖城学区的合作伙伴关系。项目目标包括1)通过提供简化的课程作业、财政支持和指导，为31名生物、化学、物理和地球科学本科生和研究生的教学生涯做准备；2)改革科学方法课程，以通过环境问题的视角模拟三维教学(整合学科核心思想、科学实践和交叉概念)和公平教学；以及3)建立一个社区，支持未来的科学教师从本科阶段开始，通过归纳和其他方式。该项目还旨在支持在职教师在创建公平的教室、辅导和3D教学方面发展专业知识，并创造关于将3D教学与环境问题相结合的案例研究如何弥合理论与实践之间的鸿沟的新知识。该项目更广泛的影响目标包括利用对环境问题的关注来招聘擅长处理环境和社会变化的新一代教师。这个Track 1：奖学金和津贴项目由罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划(Noyce)提供支持。Noyce计划支持有才华的STEM本科专业和专业人员成为有效的K-12 STEM教师，并支持经验丰富、模范的K-12教师成为高需求学区的STEM硕士教师。它还支持对高需求学区K-12 STEM教师的持久性、保留率和有效性的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
