Indiana Noyce Science Scholars: Teachers for a New Decade

印第安纳州诺伊斯科学学者：新十年教师项目与印第安纳州布卢明顿大学（IUB）文理学院和教育学院的教师以及巴塞洛缪综合学校公司、北劳伦斯社区学校、门罗县社区学校公司、北戴维斯社区学校和保利社区学校，支持发展60个人成为初中和高中科学教师在五年内。 该项目提供了两种途径来培养STEM教师：1）特定学科的B.S./ M.S.生物学，化学，物理学和地质学课程，其中合格的科学专业学生获得STEM学科的学士学位和教育硕士学位，以及科学教师执照和2）过渡到教学（T2 T）计划，这是一个工具，研究生科学专业和职业变化谁持有学位，在科学和工程领域，以满足科学教师的要求这个教师新十年项目的概念框架总结为“教师教育的六项原则”，这些原则是由IUB教师多年来开发的，涉及知识，有意义的经验，个性化学习，社区，批判性反思和成长。 该计划是NCATE批准的。 该项目包括一个诺伊斯导师协调员谁作为资源诺伊斯奖学金教师在他们的第一年。 这个人补充了学校的教师导师，将他们与相关的IUB教师联系起来，从而确保对初出茅庐的诺伊斯教师的内容驱动需求的响应。 除了面对面的指导，该项目将利用“PBS TeacherLine Peer Connection”在线入门交付平台，该平台沿着研究简报和短视频播客，模拟基于研究的最佳实践教学战略，沿着Twitter或其他适用于辅导的实时社交媒体应用程序。 评估的形成方面将检查：教师和管理人员利用先前NSF项目的结果和材料以及少数民族招聘和支持的研究文献的程度;“队列”和指导在学者/教师保留和完成方面的有效性;以及招聘和支持跨学科学生进入STEM教育所需的机构能力建设和变革。 总结性评价将侧重于：学者/教师的内容知识和先前的经验如何影响他们的教学决策;准备计划的哪些组成部分对入门经验的影响最大;监督和指导组成部分如何促进从服务前到教学的过渡;以及该项目的这些方面如何影响教师保留学者/教师。

The Indiana Noyce Science Scholars: Teachers for a New Decade project partners faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education at Indiana University-Bloomington (IUB) with Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation, North Lawrence Community Schools, Monroe County Community School Corporation, North Daviess Community Schools and Paoli Community Schools in support of developing sixty individuals to become middle grades and high school science teachers over the course of five years. The project provides for two pathways to produce the STEM teachers: 1) a discipline-specific B.S./M.S. program in biology, chemistry, physics, and geology, in which qualified science majors earn both a baccalaureate degree in a STEM discipline and a master's degree in education, as well as science teacher licensure and 2) the Transition to Teaching (T2T) program, which is a vehicle for graduate science majors and career changes who hold degrees in science and engineering fields to meet the requirements for science teacher licensure in Indiana.The conceptual framework for this Teachers for a New Decade project is summarized by "Six Principles for Teacher Education," which have been developed over multiple years by IUB faculty and speak to Knowledge, Meaningful Experience, Personalized Learning, Community, Critical Reflection, and Growth. This program is NCATE approved. The project includes a Noyce Mentor Coordinator who serves as a resource to Noyce Scholar-Teachers during their first year. This individual complements the teacher mentors in the schools by connecting them with relevant IUB faculty, thus ensuring responsiveness to content-driven needs of the fledgling Noyce Teachers. In addition to face-to-face mentoring, the project will utilize the "PBS TeacherLine Peer Connection" online induction delivery platform, which embeds research briefs along with short video podcasts modeling research-based best practice instructional strategies, along with Twitter or other real-time social media applications that are adaptable to coaching. The formative aspect of the evaluation will examine: the extent to which faculty and administrators make use of results and materials from prior NSF projects and the research literature on minority recruitment and supports; the effectiveness of "cohort" and mentoring in scholar/teachers' retention and completion; and institutional capacity building and changes needed to recruit and support cross-disciplinary students entering STEM education. The summative evaluation will focus on: how the scholar/teachers' content knowledge and prior experiences influence their instructional decision-making; which components of the preparation program have the greatest impact on induction experiences; how the supervision and mentoring components facilitated the transition from pre-service into teaching; and how these aspects of the project influenced teacher retention of the scholar/teachers.
