NSF Teaching Fellowships and Master Teaching Fellowships Track Planning Grant

辛辛那提大学与辛辛那提公立学校和非营利性社区合作伙伴奋进以及GE基金会和辛辛那提教师联合会合作，正在制定Noyce教学研究员/硕士教学研究员(TF/MTF)项目。在规划过程中，合作伙伴关系还包括一所当地社区学院和一所历史悠久的黑人学院。一份完整的Noyce TF/MTF提案正在制定中，所有高等教育合作伙伴将合作招聘STEM本科生和STEM专业转行者，以报名参加辛辛那提大学的Noyce教学奖学金、硕士学位和执照项目。作为规划过程的一部分，正在加强通过本科生STEM教育途径的早期招聘努力，以包括探索性教学经验和职业咨询。辛辛那提大学现有诺伊斯学者计划的指导和上岗部分正在得到加强，以包括以实践为基础的学习和改进，其中包括模仿大轮次会议的教学学徒制度。合作伙伴正在规划一个项目，在该项目中，教学研究员将被安排在学校以三人为一组，他们的课程工作和临床经验将在大师教师的指导下进行。项目组正在评估辛辛那提公立学校的需求，以确定当前的系统特征、所需的系统和差距，这是制定硕士助教计划的一部分，该计划将最好地支持辛辛那提公立学校的当前需求。合作伙伴的重点是从教育学和社区实践的角度形成STEM教育体系，对政策和更广泛的参与产生影响，包括俄亥俄州-肯塔基州-印第安纳州三州地区和其他地区。规划项目的评价部分是评估规划的进展情况，并为工作队/中期战略框架的全面提案制定评价计划。

The University of Cincinnati, in collaboration with Cincinnati Public Schools and the nonprofit community partner STRIVE as well as the GE Foundation and the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers, is developing a Noyce Teaching Fellows/Master Teaching Fellows (TF/MTF) project. During the planning process, the partnership is additionally including a local community college and an Historically Black College. A full Noyce TF/MTF proposal is being developed in which all of the higher education partners will collaborate to recruit STEM undergraduate majors and STEM professional career-changers to enroll in a Noyce Teaching Fellowship master's degree and licensure program at the University of Cincinnati. As part of the planning process, early recruitment efforts through the undergraduate STEM education pathway are being strengthened to include exploratory teaching experiences and career counseling. Mentoring and induction components of an existing Noyce Scholars program at the University of Cincinnati are being enhanced to include Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, which includes teaching apprenticeships modeled after Grand Rounds Conferences. The partners are planning a project in which Teaching Fellows would be placed in groups of three at schools, and their course work and clinical experiences would occur under the guidance of Master Teachers. The project team is assessing the needs of the Cincinnati Public Schools to determine current system characteristics, desired systems, and gaps, as part of the planning to develop a Master Teaching Fellow program that would best support current needs in the Cincinnati Public Schools. The collaborative partners are focused on forming a STEM education system from the perspective of pedagogy and community practice, with implications for policy and broader participation that would include the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana tri-state region and beyond. The evaluation component of the planning project is assessing progress in the planning as well as developing the evaluation plan for the full TF/MTF proposal.
