Mathematics and Science Education Enrollment and Development (MSEED) Program

这个名为MSEED的项目正在增加印第安纳州西北部STEM毕业生的数量。学生在四年内获得科学或数学学士学位，并获得教师资格证书。他们参与了重要的本科生研究部分、课程开发培训、教师指导和在不同社区的身临其境的教学体验。这些策略旨在提高留校率，并培养出对科学方法有坚定理解的有效教师。高质量的数学和科学教学是提高学生成绩和促进STEM领域职业探索的重要因素。该项目从印第安纳州西北部高需求和高贫困地区招募人才，并与之互动。MSEED毕业生是专业的教育工作者，他们有效地教授和激励学生。预计每名教师每年将对150名中学生产生积极影响。对项目活动的有效性进行了评估，并对未来高中教师的有效性进行了纵向研究。

This project, called MSEED, is increasing the number of STEM graduates in Northwest Indiana. Students earn a bachelor's degree in science or mathematics, as well as teacher licensure within four years. They participate in a significant undergraduate research component, curriculum development training, faculty mentoring and an immersive teaching experience in diverse communities. These strategies are designed to improve retention and to produce effective teachers who possess a firm understanding of the scientific method. High quality math and science teaching is an important factor in increasing student achievement and promoting career exploration in STEM fields.The program recruits from and interacts with high-need and high-poverty areas of Northwest Indiana. MSEED graduates are professional educators who effectively teach and motivate students. It is expected that each of these teachers will have a positive influence on 150 secondary students each year. Project activities are assessed for efficacy as well as a longitudinal study of the future high school teachers' effectiveness.
