This project aims to serve the national interest by encouraging talented mathematics majors to become secondary school teachers. In particular, it seeks to recruit, prepare and increase the number highly effective secondary school mathematics teachers in high-need local school districts. Cal State University Fullerton (CSUF) is a Hispanic-serving institution which will seek to recruit prospective math teachers who reflect the institution's diversity and can act as role models and mentors while providing rich mathematics instruction to all secondary students in the CSUF service area. Freshmen and Sophomore math majors at CSUF will be recruited as potential scholarship candidates (associates). Potential scholarship awardees (Juniors and Seniors) will come from a pool of current associates and other students from CSUF and local community colleges. Students will receive targeted academic advisement and mentorship, as well as internships in active learning classrooms, and also attend seminars focused on equitable mathematics teaching. The project will provide scholars with induction support in their first two years as practicing teachers, including mentorship and participation in the Math Teachers' Circle (MTC) at CSUF. MTCs are professional communities of K-12 mathematics teachers and mathematicians that meet regularly to work on rich mathematics problems, allowing teachers to enrich their knowledge and experience of math, while building meaningful partnerships with other teachers and mathematicians.This project is a collaboration between CSUF and the Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD). Activities include, but are not limited to, classroom observations, professional development, and student teaching at one of the AUHSD schools. This collaboration seeks to create a continuum of teaching experiences for future secondary school mathematics teachers, from the first year of college through the post-baccalaureate credential year. In each of the project’s five years, the CSUF College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and the College of Education will identify and recruit 4 associates and 9 scholars. At the same time, project leaders will create an effective, sustainable model for preparing prospective secondary school mathematics teachers who transfer from a community college to a four-year institution, thus adding new knowledge on how to streamline this process. The project will examine the effectiveness of mentoring on persistence rates and success in achieving a degree and teaching credential. Results will be disseminated via the project's website as well as through professional organizations such as the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), and the Math Teacher Education Partnership (MTE-Partnership). This Noyce 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 effectiveness and retention 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.

该项目旨在为国家利益服务，鼓励有才华的数学专业学生成为中学教师。特别是，在急需的地方学区招聘、培养和增加高水平的中学数学教师。加州州立大学富勒顿分校（CSUF）是一所西班牙裔服务机构，将寻求招聘未来的数学教师，他们反映了该机构的多样性，可以作为榜样和导师，同时为CSUF服务区的所有中学生提供丰富的数学指导。我校将招收数学专业大一、大二学生作为奖学金候选人（准奖学金）。潜在的奖学金获得者（三年级和四年级）将从现有的同事和其他来自加州大学旧金山分校和当地社区学院的学生中选出。学生将获得有针对性的学术指导和指导，以及在主动学习教室实习，并参加以公平数学教学为重点的研讨会。该项目将为学者提供前两年的入职支持，包括指导和参与CSUF的数学教师圈（MTC）。mtc是由K-12数学教师和数学家组成的专业社区，他们定期会面，研究丰富的数学问题，使教师能够丰富他们的数学知识和经验，同时与其他教师和数学家建立有意义的伙伴关系。该项目是CSUF和阿纳海姆联合高中学区（AUHSD）之间的合作项目。活动包括但不限于课堂观察、专业发展和在AUHSD的一所学校的学生教学。这项合作旨在为未来的中学数学教师创造一个连续的教学经验，从大学一年级到学士学位后的证书年。在该项目的5年里，每年由中央财经大学自然科学与数学学院和教育学院确定并招收4名研究员和9名学者。与此同时，项目负责人将创建一个有效的、可持续的模式，为从社区大学转到四年制大学的未来中学数学教师做准备，从而增加如何简化这一过程的新知识。该项目将审查指导对坚持率和成功获得学位和教学证书的有效性。结果将通过该项目的网站以及美国数学协会（MAA）、全国数学教师委员会（NCTM）和数学教师教育伙伴关系（MTE-Partnership）等专业组织发布。诺伊斯第1条：奖学金和津贴项目由罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划（诺伊斯）提供支持。Noyce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，并支持经验丰富的模范K-12教师成为高需求学区的STEM大师教师。它还支持对高需求学区K-12 STEM教师的有效性和留任率的研究。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。
