Full STEM: Creating Dedicated Science and Math Teachers for a Sustainable Future

通过这项能力建设补助金，位于奥斯威戈的纽约州立大学学院正在开发必要的手段，以增加其所在地区高需求学校STEM学科的中学教育教师数量。涉及的学区包括：中央广场中心、阿尔特马尔教区、墨西哥中心、富尔顿市、奥斯威戈市和汉尼拔学区。该项目正在开发以下内容：1)教师准备计划，旨在使STEM学科专业的学生能够在五年内获得教学硕士学位并完成科学专业；2)通过实习和学生教学机会，让STEM专业学生在学术生涯早期接触教学可能性；3)部分课程的在线版本，以扩大课程的覆盖范围；4)与地区社区学院合作，允许转学生在与四年制大学新生相同的时间内完成学位和认证；5)与当地、地区和州立中学和高中合作，安置和支持Noyce教师开始他们的职业生涯；6)支持助学金分配过程的校园基础设施，包括确保奖学金获得者符合项目期望的机制；7)一个强有力的评估过程，确保罗伯特·诺伊斯奖学金项目的目标得到满足，并为项目改进提供形成性的反馈。该项目预计招收三种类型的学生：目前在纽约州立大学奥斯威戈分校主修STEM学科的高年级学生（包括社区学院和技术学院的转学生）完成STEM学科的本科学位和教学硕士学位（MST）；已获得STEM学科学位的学生将被招募到快速完成的MST项目，该项目允许在一年加一个夏季时间表内完成硕士学位；以及那些在职业生涯早期作为STEM专业的学生，他们将有经验让他们决定作为一名教师是否适合他们。智力优势：该项目借鉴了关于如何成为一名有效的STEM教师的成熟文献。它利用各种成功项目的发现来开发一种独特的模式，其中包括为未来教师提供高质量的教育体验，实地经验和帮助学生发展创新教学技术的指导。更广泛的影响：这种模式有可能被其他拥有强大的科学项目和高质量教师教育历史的机构轻松使用。文理学院和教育学院之间的互动结合了对学科的奉献和强大而积极的教学法。

Through this Capacity Building Grant the SUNY College at Oswego is developing the means necessary to increase the number of secondary education teachers in the STEM disciplines in high-need schools in their area. The school districts involved include: the Central Square Central , the Altmar-Parish, the Mexico Central, the Fulton City, the Oswego City, and the Hannibal school districts. The project is developing the following: 1) a teacher preparation program designed so that students majoring in STEM disciplines can receive a master's degree in teaching and complete their science major within a five year period; 2) programs that expose STEM majors to teaching possibilities early in their academic careers through internships and student teaching opportunities; 3) online versions of some of these classes to expand the reach of the program; 4) articulations with regional community colleges that allow transfer students to complete their degree and certification within the same timeframe as students who start as freshmen on the four year campus; 5) partnerships with local, regional and state middle schools and high schools to place and support Noyce teachers as they begin their professional careers; 6) a campus infrastructure to support the grant distribution process, including mechanisms for ensuring that scholarship recipients are meeting the expectations of the program; and 7) a robust assessment process that ensures the goals of the Robert Noyce Scholarship Program are being met and that provides formative feedback for program improvement. The project anticipates recruitment of three types of students: upper division students at SUNY Oswego presently majoring in STEM disciplines (including transfer students from community colleges and technical colleges) to complete the undergraduate degree in their STEM discipline and a master's degree in teaching (MST); those who have graduated with a degree in a STEM discipline who will be recruited into a fast-completion MST program that allows for completion of the master's degree within a one year plus one summer timetable; and those students early in their careers as STEM majors who will have experiences that allow them to determine whether a career as a teacher is an appropriate choice for them. Intellectual Merit: The program draws on an established body of literature as to what makes for an effective STEM teacher. It uses the findings from a variety of successful programs to develop a unique model that includes a quality educational experience for future teachers, field experiences and orientations that help students to develop innovative pedagogical techniques.Broader Impact: This model has the potential to be easily used by other institutions with strong science programs and histories of quality teacher education. The interaction between the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Education combines a dedication to discipline with strong and active pedagogy.
