Collaboration for Excellence in Science and Math Education (CESAME)

阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校(UAB)、劳森州立社区学院和伯明翰城市学校正在合作，极大地促进科学和数学专业的学生进入高需求学校的中学教育生涯，为STEM专业的学生在其大学课程的形成阶段提供教育机会，并通过一个学术和实践经验项目提供支持。正在测试的两种模式是：1)多年制项目，吸引新生，并为三年级、四年级和五年级学生提供奖学金；以及2)一年制项目，面向拥有STEM本科学位的学生。每个项目招收20名学生作为奖学金获得者，并最终获得硕士学位。学生们在大一期间进入该项目，担任加州大学S中学生暑期科学学院的辅导员。有25名潜在的奖学金候选人参与了这些暑期项目，从中选出了40名奖学金获得者。在最初的三年教学期间，每个诺伊斯毕业生都会被指派一名社区外展发展中心(CORD)STEM专家，以确保他们得到UAB教职员工和指导教师的适当支持。学习资源实验室为教师提供了一个在需要的基础上提供指导和支持的地方。卓越科学与数学教育合作(CESAME)的智力价值包括对一种创新方法的设计、资源和性能进行测试，该方法旨在招募有前途的STEM学生成为变革性的STEM教育领导者。更广泛的影响是40名优秀的STEM教师，他们计划在服务不足的学校担任教师，并提供一个持续的平台，提供高素质的STEM教师。

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Lawson State Community College and Birmingham City Schools are partnering to greatly enhance the entry of science and math majors into careers in secondary education in high needs schools, introducing STEM majors to education opportunities during the formative stage of their college programs and providing support through a program of academic and practical experiences. Two models being tested are: 1) a multi-year program, engaging freshmen and providing scholarships for junior, senior and 5th year students and 2) a one-year program for students with a STEM undergraduate degree. Each program is enrolling 20 students as scholarship recipients, and leads to a Master degree. Students enter the program during their freshman year as facilitators in UAB?s Summer Science Institute for secondary students. There are 25 potential scholarship candidates facilitating these summer programs, from which the 40 scholarship recipients are chosen. During their initial 3 years of teaching, each Noyce graduate is assigned a Center for Community OutReach Development (CORD) STEM specialist to insure that they receive appropriate support by UAB faculty and mentor teachers. A Learning Resource Lab provides a place for teachers to come for guidance and support on an as-needed basis. The Intellectual Merit of Collaboration for Excellence in Science and Math Education (CESAME) includes the testing of the design, resources and performance of an innovative method to recruit promising STEM students to be transformative secondary STEM education leaders. The Broader Impacts are in the 40 excellent STEM teachers who plan to be teachers in underserved schools and a sustained platform to supply highly qualified STEM teachers.
