Teacher Education Collaboration for High-Need Schools - New Jersey (TECHS-NJ)

Techs-NJ项目正在招聘、准备、认证和帮助留住新的26名科学和数学教师，他们毕业后拥有生物学、植物学、化学、环境地质学、环境科学、地质学、数学、物理学或动物学学士学位，并获得新泽西州教师证书，并在纽瓦克公立学校工作，纽瓦克公立学校是一个急需的学区。新泽西理工学院(NJIT)、罗格斯-纽瓦克(RN)、纽瓦克博物馆(NM)和纽瓦克公立学校(NPS)将现有的STEM本科课程、城市教育教师认证计划、高质量的专业发展和服务活动结合在一起，这些活动利用了其他NSF支持的计划、社区建设活动和支持服务，而学生还在本科生和教学的早期。该项目的主要组成部分是：1)在NJIT和RN招募高水平的大一和大二学生，以及在NPS高中招聘代表不同学生群体的大四学生。2)学术准备，最终获得科学学科或数学的完整学位。3)通过RN城市教育部提供教师培训，该部门旨在帮助学生为在高需求学区任教做准备。Noyce奖学金获得者参加为期一年的拨款支持、以探究为导向的职业发展计划，指导在Techs-NJ跟踪他们的学生，并在NJIT为HS学生举办的暑期计划中磨练他们的技能。4)技术人员-新泽西州的学生拥有RN和NJIT的许多支持服务资源，并参与每月的社区建设会议/活动。学生都有学术和教师教育顾问。

The TECHS-NJ program is recruiting, preparing, certifying and helping retain a new cohort of 26 science and mathematics teachers, who, upon graduation, hold baccalaureate degrees in Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Environmental Geology, Environmental Science, Geology, Mathematics, Physics or Zoology with New Jersey teacher certification and a job in the Newark Public Schools, a high-need school district. New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Rutgers-Newark (RN), Newark Museum (NM, and Newark Public Schools (NPS) are bringing together existing STEM undergraduate programs, an urban education teacher certification program, high quality professional development and service activities that leverage other NSF supported programs, community building activities and support services while students are undergraduates and while they are in the early years of teaching. The project's main components are:1) Recruitment of high achieving freshmen and sophomores at NJIT and RN and seniors in NPS high schools representing diverse student populations.2) Academic Preparation leading to a full academic degree in a scientific discipline or mathematics.3) Teacher Preparation provided through RN's Department of Urban Education which is designed to prepare students to teach in high need school districts. Noyce Scholarship recipients participate in year-long, grant supported, inquiry-driven professional development programs, mentor students who follow them in TECHS-NJ and hone their skills in a summer program for HS students at NJIT. 4) TECHS-NJ students have the resources of RN's and NJIT's many support services and participate in monthly community building meetings/activities. Students have both academic and teacher education advisors.
