49erTeach: Building Capacity for Teachers of Chemistry and Physics

北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校成立了北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校49人教学Noyce学者计划，以培养12名具有内容专业知识的高中化学和物理教师。通过物理系和化学系、教育学院和夏洛特-梅克伦堡学校之间强有力的合作伙伴关系，这个高质量的教师培训项目使用学习教练模式，在教师导师的支持下，让最优秀的化学和物理学生参与同伴指导。那些被选中成为诺伊斯学者的人参加教育学课程，参加研讨会，丰富他们在科学和教育学方面的知识，参加州和国家科学教育会议，有暑期实习机会，并由一个三人导师团队提供支持，他们分别来自科学学院、教育学院和一名任课教师。完成认证项目后，新教师在入职前三年继续接受指导和支持。该项目的成功取决于不同学科之间的无缝协作、强有力的行政支持和完善的学习教练模式。它解决了对训练有素的高中化学和物理教师的关键需求，特别是在服务不足的地区，如北卡罗来纳州的农村。

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte has established the UNC Charlotte 49er Teach Noyce Scholars Program to prepare 12 high-school chemistry and physics teachers with content expertise. Through a strong partnership among the Departments of Physics and Chemistry, the College of Education, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, this high-quality teacher preparation program uses the Learning Coach model to engage the best chemistry and physics students in peer instruction, supported by faculty mentors. Those selected to become Noyce Scholars enroll in pedagogy courses, attend seminars enriching their knowledge of both science and pedagogy, attend state and national meetings on science education, have summer internship opportunities, and are supported by a three-person team of mentors, one each from the science faculty, the education faculty, and a classroom teacher. Having completed the certification program, new teachers continue to be mentored and supported during their first three induction years. This project's success rests on its seamless collaborations among disparate disciplines, strong administrative support, and the well-developed Learning Coach model. It addresses a key need for well-trained high school chemistry and physics teachers, particularly in underserved areas such as rural North Carolina.
