Acquiring Teaching Opportunities in Mathematics and Science (ATOMS)

培养更多高素质的数学和科学教师是国家的优先事项。这个第一阶段，轨道I诺伊斯教师奖学金项目，获得数学和科学（ATOMS）的教学机会，将招募24名生物或数学专业的大三学生，他们没有考虑过从事教学工作，并将为他们提供为期三年的奖学金，以完成其学科和俄亥俄州青少年/年轻人（AYA）的学士学位要求7-12年级的综合数学或生命科学许可证。该计划还将招募和财政支持八个人谁已经完成了本科和/或研究生学位的数学，科学，或通过一年的快速学士后课程相关领域成为AYA许可在综合数学或生命科学。ATOMS计划将汇集来自生物学，数学和教育的强大教师团队，以及高需求合作学校的领导者和教师，为这些ATOMS学者提供强大的内容知识;致力于探究式科学;以及如何激励，评估和衡量学生学习的理解。ATOMS计划将让其学者参与高需求学校的早期实地经验，大学水平的教育实习，专注于整合内容和教学法并开发高杠杆实践的研讨会系列，导师计划和强大的互动实践社区。总的来说，ATOMS计划的目标是为未来的教师提供关于将最佳实践与严格的准备相结合的好处的知识。

Developing more, highly qualified mathematics and science teachers is a national priority. This Phase I, Track I Noyce Teacher Scholarship project, Acquiring Teaching Opportunities in Mathematics and Science (ATOMS), will recruit 24 juniors who are majoring in biology or mathematics who have not considered a career in teaching and will provide them with three-year scholarships to complete the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in their discipline and Ohio's Adolescent/Young Adult (AYA) Integrated Mathematics or Life Science licensure for grades 7-12. The program will also recruit and financially support eight individuals who have completed an undergraduate and/or graduate degree in mathematics, science, or a related field through a one-year rapid post-baccalaureate program to become AYA licensed in Integrated Mathematics or Life Science. The ATOMS program will bring together a strong team of faculty from biology, mathematics, and education, as well as leaders and teachers in high-needs partner schools, to prepare these ATOMS scholars with strong content knowledge; commitment to inquiry-based science; and an understanding of how to inspire, evaluate, and measure student learning. The ATOMS program will involve its scholars in early field experiences in high-needs schools, education internships at the collegiate level, workshop series focusing on integrating content and pedagogy and developing high-leverage practices, mentorship programs, and robust interactive communities of practice. Collectively, the ATOMS program will aim to generate knowledge on the benefits of coupling best practices with rigorous preparation for future teachers.
