CSUTeach: Preparing a New Generation of Noyce Scholars

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的UTeach模式正在改变大学的STEM教师教育计划。 智力价值的特点包括开发紧凑的四年制学位课程，其中包括数学，物理，生物或化学的内容学位和教学许可证。这是通过将教育课程与科学、工程、数学和技术内容相结合来实现的。免费的一学分课程和带薪暑期实习为STEM地区的大一新生和新生提供了早期和持续的机会，以了解STEM教学作为一种职业。承诺成为诺伊斯学者的大三和大四学生每年可获得10，000美元。 学者们在当地完成实地经验，高需求的学校，有学生群体，将学生教师暴露在一个环境，反映了预期在第一次教学工作。新教师通过研究生课程和专业发展机会获得持续的支持，UTeach大师教师的访问，以及专门的在线社区进行持续的讨论和交流。虽然这种新的教师准备模式打破了传统的教育学院课程，但它保留了所有重要的特征，包括基于研究的理论，用于在城市课堂上提供内容，包括与文化相关的教学法和对特殊学生的教学。 共有20名新的STEM教师正在通过这种UTeach模式进行准备。 该大学是俄亥俄州第一个实施UTeach模式的机构，并承诺产生广泛的影响，因为俄亥俄州大学系统的校长已表示有兴趣将这一模式扩展到其他州立机构。这项工作的合作伙伴包括国家数学和科学倡议，UTeach研究所，俄亥俄州STEM学习网络和克利夫兰大都会学区。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)The UTeach model is transforming the STEM teacher education program at the University. Features of intellectual merit include developing compact four-year degree programs that include both a content degree in mathematics, physics, biology or chemistry and teaching licensure. This is being accomplished by melding education coursework with science, engineering, mathematics, and technology content. Free one-credit courses and paid summer internships provide early and continuing opportunities for STEM-area freshman and sophomores to learn about STEM teaching as a career. Juniors and seniors who commit to becoming Noyce Scholars receive $10,000 per year. The Scholars complete field experiences in local, high-need schools that have student populations that will expose the student teachers to an environment that mirrors that anticipated at the first teaching job. New teachers receive ongoing support through graduate coursework and professional development opportunities, visits from UTeach Master teachers, and a dedicated online community for ongoing discussions and networking.While this new model for teacher preparation breaks with the traditional college of education program, it retains all of the important features including research-based theories for delivering content in the urban classroom, including culturally relevant pedagogy and teaching students with exceptionalities. A total of 20 new STEM teachers are being prepared by this UTeach Model. The University is the first institution in Ohio to implement the UTeach model and promises to have broad impact because the Chancellor of the University System of Ohio has indicated interest in expanding this model to other state institutions. Partners in this effort include the National Math and Science Initiative, the UTeach Institute, the Ohio STEM Learning Network, and the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.
