STEM for Education (STEM-E) Scholarship Program

罗格斯大学STEM for Education(STEM-E)奖学金计划的目标是招聘、留住和维持一群致力于在高需求学区教学的工程师和物理学家。该计划(1)将物理和工程学本科课程与现有的物理和数学研究生教师培养计划相结合，(2)加强对高需求地区学生教授物理和数学的关注，(3)包括职前和在职教师之间的电子指导网络，以及(4)加入说明STEM对社会的影响的研讨会。15名STEM-E学者正在准备毕业，准备在高需求的K-12数学和科学教室任教，他们拥有丰富的教学知识和对STEM专业人员重要性的深刻理解。此外，该计划还提供长期的持续专业发展，以确保新教师的成功。更广泛的影响是，STEM-E学者将成为国家领先的教育变革推动者，在高需求学区服务，担任高素质的数学和科学教师，将工程学融入他们的数学和物理课程。混合方法评估计划包括对方案目标和组成部分的形成性和总结性评估。结果通过该计划的网站和在会议上的陈述进行传播。

The goal of the STEM for Education (STEM-E) Scholarship Program at Rutgers University is to recruit, retain, and maintain a community of engineers and physicists who are dedicated to teaching in high-needs school districts. Intellectual Merit is encompassed in an overarching theme of "STEM for Humanity" and the program (1) blends the physics and engineering undergraduate programs with the existing graduate physics and mathematics teacher preparation programs, (2) strengthens the focus on teaching physics and mathematics to students in high-needs districts, (3) includes an e-mentoring network between pre- and in-service teachers, and (4) infuses seminars that illustrate the impact of STEM on society. Fifteen STEM-E scholars are being prepared to graduate ready to teach in high-needs K-12 math and science classrooms with strong pedagogical content knowledge and deep understanding of the importance of STEM professionals. Additionally, the program offers long-term continuing professional development to ensure the success of new teachers. Broader Impacts are achieved in that STEM-E scholars will be the nation's leading educational change agents serving in high-need school districts as highly qualified math and science teachers who integrate engineering into their math and physics courses. A mixed-method evaluation plan includes formative and summative assessment of program goals and components. Results are disseminated through the program's website and presentations at conferences.
