CalTeach at Santa Barbara

该奖项由2009年《美国复苏与再投资法案》(Public Law 111-5)资助。加州大学圣巴巴拉分校(UCSB)数学、生命和物理科学部、UCSB的格维尔茨教育研究生院(GGSE)、三所地区性社区学院(圣巴巴拉市学院、文图拉社区学院和艾伦·汉考克学院)以及圣巴巴拉县和文图拉县的七个学区正在合作，为加州的中学培养优秀的中学科学和数学教师。加州理工学院圣巴巴拉分校(CTSB)正在通过新开设的辅修科学和数学教育专业招收STEM专业的学生从事科学和数学教学。该项目将UCSB第五年教师教育计划的科学和数学证书候选人总数增加47%，并通过共享活动建立学生队伍，以培养和留住以学生为中心、具有改革思想的科学和数学教师。据估计，在五年的时间里，将向成功完成本科学位并被UCSB教师教育项目录取的STEM专业学生颁发75个奖学金(每个10,000美元)。选拔程序倾向于家庭中第一个进入大学、双语和/或本科辅修科学和数学教育的毕业生。每年为社区大学转校生提供三个奖学金。奖学金获得者在为相当数量的经济困难学生和/或英语学习者提供服务的学校完成学生教学。他们在指定的高需求合作学区履行教学承诺，同时完成增强的初任教师入职计划。评估研究正在确定如何最好地满足招聘、教师准备和建立杰出的科学和数学教师队伍等计划目标。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(Public Law 111-5).The University of California, Santa Barbara's (UCSB) Division of Mathematical, Life, and Physical Sciences, UCSB's Gevirtz Graduate School of Education (GGSE), three regional community colleges (Santa Barbara City College, Ventura Community College, and Alan Hancock College), and seven school districts in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties are collaborating to prepare exceptional secondary science and mathematics teachers for California's secondary schools. CalTeach at Santa Barbara (CTSB) is recruiting STEM majors into science and math teaching through a new Minor in Science and Mathematics Education. The project is increasing the overall number of science and mathematics credential candidates in UCSB's fifth year Teacher Education Program by 47% and building cohorts of students through shared activities so as to prepare and retain student-centered, reform-minded science and mathematics teachers. An estimated 75 scholarships ($10,000 each) are being awarded over a five year period to STEM majors who have successfully completed their undergraduate degree and been accepted to the UCSB Teacher Education Program. Selection procedures favor students who are the first in their families to attend college, bilingual, and/or graduates of the undergraduate Minor in Science and Mathematics Education. Three scholarships each year are designated for community college transfer students. Scholarship recipients complete their student teaching in schools serving substantial numbers of students who are economically disadvantaged and/or English learners. They fulfill their teaching commitments in designated, high need partnership school districts while completing an enhanced beginning teacher induction program. Evaluation research is determining how best to meet program objectives of recruitment, teacher preparation, and establishment of cohorts of exceptional science and mathematics teachers.
