The project aims to serve the national need of preparing highly qualified mathematics and science teachers to serve in high-need elementary and secondary schools. Future U.S. competitiveness depends on how well prepared the nation’s students are for 21st century careers in STEM. The CUNY-Lehman College teacher preparation program intends ensure that more students are prepared for these future STEM careers. To do so, it will recruit three cohorts of individuals who have obtained baccalaureate degrees in a STEM discipline and support them in earning a master’s degree in education with teacher certification. The support will include a two-semester, mentored experience in public schools. The project is expected to strengthen the pipeline into mathematics and science teaching in areas with high needs and to improve the quality of STEM teaching in public elementary, middle, and high schools in New York. This project at the City University of New York-Lehman includes partnerships with high-need, New York school districts in the Bronx and in Mount Vernon. During each of the first three years of the project, it intends to recruit annual cohorts of nine individuals who have a STEM degree and provide them with scholarships and other support to complete a master’s degree. As a result, 27 new certified STEM teachers should be teaching in high need schools by the end of the award. The project will provide the Noyce Scholars with coursework that builds their content knowledge and pedagogical skills in working with elementary and secondary school students in science and mathematics classrooms. Additional project goals include development of the Noyce Scholars’ ability to connect teaching and learning to the experiences of their linguistically and culturally diverse students. These skills are expected to be honed during a two-semester sequence of immersive experiences at New World High School in the Bronx and at a K-8 school in Mount Vernon, where the Noyce Scholars will be mentored by experienced in-service STEM classroom teachers. The project also aims to build the capacity of the host schools to provide high-quality, clinical experiences for pre-service teachers, both online and onsite, by becoming “best practice” demonstration sites. The project also intends to reform and implement a joint elementary-secondary teacher preparation program to meet local school needs. Finally, the project aims to generate and disseminate new knowledge about the relationships between teacher effectiveness and their preparation in mathematics and science education. 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的需要，培养高素质的数学和科学教师，在高需求的小学和中学任职。 美国未来的竞争力取决于美国学生为21世纪的STEM职业做好了多少准备。CUNY-Lehman College教师准备计划旨在确保更多的学生为这些未来的STEM职业做好准备。 为此，它将招募三批获得STEM学科学士学位的个人，并支持他们获得教师资格证书的教育硕士学位。 支持将包括两个学期，在公立学校的指导经验。 该项目预计将加强高需求地区的数学和科学教学渠道，并提高纽约公立小学、初中和高中的STEM教学质量。纽约市立大学雷曼分校的这个项目包括与布朗克斯和弗农山的高需求纽约学区建立伙伴关系。 在该项目的前三年中，它打算每年招募9名拥有STEM学位的人，并为他们提供奖学金和其他支持，以完成硕士学位。 因此，27名新认证的STEM教师应该在奖励结束时在高需求的学校任教。 该项目将为诺伊斯学者提供课程，以建立他们的内容知识和教学技能，在科学和数学课堂上与中小学学生合作。 其他项目目标包括发展诺伊斯学者将教学与语言和文化多样性学生的经验联系起来的能力。 这些技能预计将在布朗克斯的新世界高中和弗农山的一所K-8学校的两个学期的沉浸式体验中得到磨练，诺伊斯学者将由经验丰富的在职STEM课堂教师指导。 该项目还旨在建设东道学校的能力，通过成为"最佳做法"示范点，为职前教师提供高质量的在线和现场临床经验。 该项目还打算改革和实施一项中小学教师联合培训方案，以满足当地学校的需要。 最后，该项目旨在产生和传播关于教师效能与其数学和科学教育准备之间关系的新知识。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。
