Teachers for a New Tomorrow (TNT)

为了解决当地迫切需要改善数学和科学教育的问题，密西西比大学（UM）诺伊斯教师奖学金计划，教师为新的明天（TNT），提供支持，以扩大和加强UM的数学和科学教育中心（CMSE）在解决这个问题方面的努力。通过TNT计划，CMSE为STEM专业提供了独特的机会，让他们从事数学或科学教育，从而增加了准备在中学教授科学和数学的认证教师的数量。30个STEM专业通过注册双专业（STEM和STEM教育）或注册教育学院的课程与教学硕士（MACI）课程，获得科学或数学教师资格证书。除了满足课程要求外，TNT学者还通过参加CMSE的丰富课程来丰富他们的教学知识。这些事件和活动的目的是培训职前教师与额外的教育活动，专门为TNT学者创建。一旦获得认证，TNT奖学金毕业生通过在合作的高需求学区任教至少两年来履行他们的承诺，每年获得诺伊斯奖学金。该项目的形成性和总结性评估过程，确保该计划保持改善密西西比数学和科学教育的重点。该计划是一项多方面的奋进，包括合作地区和参与者的多样性，重点是最大的经济需求领域。

To combat the urgent local need for improvements in mathematics and science education, the University of Mississippi (UM) Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, Teachers for a New Tomorrow (TNT), provides the support to expand and enhance the efforts of UM's Center for Mathematics and Science Education (CMSE) in addressing this issue. Through the TNT program, the CMSE provides unique opportunities for STEM majors to pursue a career in mathematics or science education, thus increasing the number of certified teachers prepared to teach science and mathematics in secondary schools. Thirty STEM majors are obtaining teacher certification in science or mathematics by enrolling as a double major (in STEM and STEM Education) or by enrolling in the School of Education's Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction (MACI) program. In addition to meeting course requirements, TNT scholars enrich their pedagogical knowledge by participating in the TNT Preparation Program by enrolling in CMSE's enrichment programs. These events and activities are designed to train pre-service teachers with additional education activities created specifically for TNT scholars. Once certified, TNT scholarship graduates fulfill their commitment by teaching in a partnered high-need school district at least two years for each year a Noyce scholarship award was received. The project's formative and summative evaluation processes ensure that the program maintains a focus of improving mathematics and science education in Mississippi. This program is a multifaceted endeavor that includes diversity in the partnering districts and in participants with focus on areas of greatest economic need.
