Northeast Noyce Professional Learning Network

该项目旨在满足国家需求，支持高需求学区高效K-12 STEM教师的成长和发展。有效的STEM教师激励和吸引学生，为他们提供参与STEM劳动力所需的技能和知识，并最终帮助他们充分发挥潜力。尤其重要的是，要建设STEM教师的能力，以培养高需求学校学生经常未开发的才能，这些学校有许多来自历史上边缘化群体的学生。为了满足这一需要，该项目将在美国东北部建立一个区域专业学习网络。该网络将增加早期职业STEM教师与来自该地区的STEM同事（包括经验丰富的硕士教师）联系和合作的机会。该网络将通过专业学习活动补充个别大学和学区的STEM教师发展工作，以进一步促进高需求地区早期职业STEM教师的保留和成功。该项目是三所高等教育机构与以前成功的罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金项目之间的伙伴关系：罗切斯特大学（纽约州），波士顿的马萨诸塞州大学（马萨诸塞州）和圣约瑟夫大学（宾夕法尼亚州）。项目目标包括：a）连接，利用和进一步发展大师教师的知识和专业知识，使早期职业STEM教师受益; B）为600多名未来和实践教师提供高质量的专业学习体验，包括两次区域STEM教学会议，22个专业学习社区，22个视频俱乐部，为早期职业STEM教师提供352小时的辅导，和九个当地专业学习机构;和c）连接80多个东北高等教育机构提供STEM教学计划，共同创建东北诺伊斯专业学习网络。除其他外，该网络将为STEM教师教育领导者提供分享知识和理解的机会，以支持STEM教师教育计划的持续改进。该项目将通过一个强大的计划评估计划，促进教师如何访问网络进行协作，连接和共享的理解。该项目通过将知识转化为解决方案，使教师了解并实施STEM教育中的循证实践，从而造福社会。这个会议项目是通过罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划（诺伊斯），旨在支持有才华的干本科专业和专业人士成为有效的K-12干教师和经验丰富，模范K-12教师成为干硕士教师在高需求学区的支持。该奖项反映了NSF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。

The project aims to serve the national need of supporting the growth and development of highly effective K-12 STEM teachers in high-need school districts. Effective STEM teachers inspire and engage students, provide them with the skills and knowledge needed to participate in the STEM workforce, and ultimately help them achieve their full potential. It is particularly critical to build the capacity of STEM teachers to foster the frequently untapped talent of students in high-need schools, where many students from historically marginalized populations attend. To address this need, the project will establish a regional professional learning network in the Northeast United States. The network will increase opportunities for early career STEM teachers to connect and collaborate with STEM colleagues from across the region, including experienced master teachers. The network will complement STEM teacher development efforts at individual universities and school districts with professional learning activities to further promote the retention and success of early career STEM teachers in high-need districts. This project is a partnership between three institutions of higher education with previously successful Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship projects: the University of Rochester (NY), the University of Massachusetts at Boston (MA), and Saint Joseph’s University (PA). Project goals include: a) connecting, leveraging, and further developing the knowledge and expertise of master teachers to benefit early-career STEM teachers; b) providing high-quality professional learning experiences for over 600 prospective and practicing teachers that includes two regional STEM teaching conferences, 22 professional learning communities, 22 video clubs, 352 hours of coaching for early career STEM teachers, and nine local professional learning institutes; and c) connecting over 80 Northeast institutions of higher education offering STEM teaching programs to collectively create the Northeast Noyce Professional Learning Network. Among other things, this network will provide opportunities for STEM teacher education leaders to share knowledge and understandings that support continuous improvement of STEM teacher education programs. The project will advance understandings of how teachers access networks to collaborate, connect, and share through a robust program evaluation plan. The project benefits society by translating knowledge into solutions as teachers learn about and implement evidence-based practices in STEM education. This conference project is supported through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce), which aims to support 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.
