Transforming Secondary Mathematics Teacher Preparation: A Conference to Focus on Recruitment and Equity

该项目旨在为国家利益服务，通过召开一次会议，重点讨论增加致力于改善中学数学教师招聘和准备计划的高等教育机构的数量，最终改善6-12年级学生获得高质量数学指导的机会。数学教师教育家协会（AMTE）、实事求是（GFO）工作组和数学教师教育伙伴关系（MTE-P）将利用本次会议解决与招聘不同的数学教师候选人、探索与教学相关的转型努力以及审查公平在中学数学教师招聘和准备中的作用有关的问题。新的和现有的合作伙伴将分享工具和战略，以解决共同的挑战，并为当地的项目转型努力开发想法。扩大参与谁成为数学教师至关重要；因此，该项目将从公平的角度来看待招聘和项目改造工作。在2022年MTE-P &； GFO会议上，与会者将重点讨论如何将备考项目转变为与AMTE的数学教师备考标准更紧密地结合起来的重要工作。会议将采用混合形式，邀请与会者亲自或在线充分参与。现场部分将在AMTE年会的前一天，在2022年AMTE年会的同一地点举行。评估工作将检查(1)会议如何将关注中学数学教师培养的合作伙伴网络扩展到GFO和MTE-P社区之外，以及(2)会议在多大程度上解决了公平、多样性和包容性问题；招聘策略;以及对程序转换的支持和维度。MTE-P & GFO会议主题和会议的信息和材料将通过AMTE通讯和教学数学教师播客传播。通过利用改进科学的思想来支持制度转型，参与者将影响K-12和高等教育背景下的STEM教育经验。NSF IUSE: EHR计划支持研究和开发项目，以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。通过参与学生学习轨道，该计划支持有前途的实践和工具的创建，探索和实施。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识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 interest by convening a conference focused on increasing the number of higher education institutions that are committed to improving secondary mathematics teacher recruitment and preparation programs, ultimately improving access to high-quality mathematics instructions for 6-12th grade students. The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educator’s (AMTE), Get the Facts Out (GFO) taskforce, and the Mathematics Teacher Education Partnership (MTE-P), will use this conference as a vehicle to address issues related to recruiting diverse mathematics teacher candidates, exploring transformational efforts relevant to teaching, and examining the role of equity in secondary mathematics teacher recruitment and preparation. New and existing partners will share tools and strategies for solving common challenges and develop ideas for local program transformation efforts. Broadening participation in who becomes mathematics teachers is vital; therefore, the project will approach recruitment and program transformation efforts from an equity perspective. At the 2022 MTE-P & GFO Conference, participants will engage in focused discussions about the significant work of transforming preparation programs to more closely align with the AMTE’s Standards for Preparing Teachers of Mathematics. The conference will be offered in a hybrid format, with participants invited to fully engage either in-person or online. The in-person portion will be held in the same location as the 2022 AMTE annual conference, one day prior to the AMTE conference. An evaluation effort will examine (1) the ways in which the conference has expanded the network of partners who focus on secondary mathematics teacher preparation beyond the GFO and MTE-P communities, and (2) the degree to which the sessions address equity, diversity, and inclusivity; recruitment strategies; as well as supports for and dimensions of program transformation. Information and materials from the MTE-P & GFO Conference themes and sessions will be disseminated through the AMTE newsletter and the Teaching Mathematics Teachers podcast. By utilizing ideas of improvement science to support institutional transformation, participants will impact STEM educational experiences across K–12 and post-secondary contexts. The NSF IUSE: EHR Program support research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Engaged Student Learning track, the program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools.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.
