Claremont Colleges Collaborative for Mathematics and Science Education: Phase II Noyce Project

在这个第二阶段的项目中，PI团队正在招募40名新的诺伊斯学者进入其目前的计划。与其第一阶段的努力一样，这个后续计划正在从最近的STEM毕业生中汲取经验。成功的学者获得教学证书和教育或数学硕士学位。为了实现其招聘目标，该项目正在通过增加STEM教师参与克莱蒙大学数学与科学教育合作（C3MSE）和增加奖学金支持，扩大其在整个克莱蒙学院的招聘基础。与得克萨斯南方大学建立了伙伴关系，以帮助招募非洲裔美国学生参加该计划。这将补充该项目在吸引拉丁裔学生参加该项目方面已经表现出的良好记录。从程序上讲，第二阶段的工作是为诺伊斯学者引入一个课程研究专业发展组成部分。与此同时，对现有教师教育课程的修订也带来了课程研究实践和新的策略，以加强教学内容知识的发展。该项目继续致力于为初中和高中培养数学、生物、化学和物理方面的新教师。最后，调查小组正在进行一项纵向研究，以探讨有关早期第一阶段和新的第二阶段队列的以下问题：1）哪些因素有助于吸引高质量的STEM毕业生从事教学？2)哪些因素有助于在教学中留住高质量的STEM毕业生？以及3）通过职业成功和主管评估来衡量，哪些因素有助于研究员的教学成功？与克莱蒙研究生大学合作的机构是五个克莱蒙学院：哈维穆德学院，克莱蒙麦肯纳学院，皮茨学院，斯克里普斯学院和波莫纳学院。

In this Phase II project the PI team is recruiting forty new Noyce Scholars into its current program. As with its Phase I effort, this follow-on program is drawing from the pool of recent STEM graduates. Successful Scholars earn both a teaching credential and an MA in Education or Mathematics. To meet its recruitment goals the project is expanding its recruiting base throughout the Claremont Colleges by increasing STEM faculty participation in the Claremont College Collaborative for Mathematics and Science Education (C3MSE) and increasing fellowship support. A partnership with Texas Southern University has been established to help recruit African-American students to the program. This would complement the already strong record the project has demonstrated in attracting Latino students to the program. Programmatically, the Phase II effort is introducing a Lesson Study professional development component for the Noyce Scholars. At the same time revisions to the existing teacher education curriculum are also bringing in Lesson Study practices and new strategies to strengthen the development of pedagogical content knowledge. The project retains its interest in producing new teachers for both middle and secondary schools in mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics. Finally, the investigating team is conducting a longitudinal study to examine the following questions regarding the earlier Phase I and new Phase II cohorts: 1) What factors contribute to attracting high quality STEM graduates into teaching? 2) What factors contribute to retaining high quality STEM graduates in teaching? and 3) What factors contribute to the teaching success of fellows, as measured through career success and supervisor evaluation? Institutions collaborating with Claremont Graduate University are the five Claremont Colleges: Harvey Mudd College, Claremont McKenna College, Pitzer College, Scripps College, and Pomona College.
