Designing and Implementing a STEM Teacher Preparation Program to Address the National Need for Highly Qualified High School Physics Teachers

这个罗伯特·诺伊斯教学奖学金第一阶段计划的物理STEM教师将开发，实施和评估战略，以增加高素质的物理教师的数量，通过扩展SUNY Geneseo的承诺，准备物理和其他STEM教师，并支持他们进入教学行业。 有文件证明，全国缺乏高中物理教师，他们可以为今天的学生提供科学，技术，工程和数学方面的机会，该项目将为解决全国物理需求的方法提供一个模型。 这个罗伯特·诺伊斯教学奖学金项目包括几个组成部分，以支持和鼓励物理和STEM专业有兴趣在获得纽约州教学认证后，在服务不足的高中教授物理。 这些组成部分包括（1）物理和STEM本科生的早期教学经验，例如在当地教室演示物理;（2）物理教师暑期实地学校和当地科学营的暑期实习，为一年级和二年级本科生提供STEM领域的宝贵教学经验;（3）通过NYS Master Teacher Program和Geneseo的物理驻校教师，由当地成功的物理教师进行指导;（4）诺伊斯奖学金，以支持35名致力于在高需求学区教授STEM的高年级本科生，（5）前往专业协会的国家和地区会议，了解科学教学的最佳实践，及（6）为教师提供入职辅导。 这个诺伊斯项目有四个具体目标，每个目标都有评估指标：增加获得高中物理教学认证的物理毕业生数量;提高非物理学的信心和物理教学效率，STEM专业追求二级认证;增加来自代表性不足群体的认证物理教师的多样性;并提供有意义的早期教学经验，以协助招聘和保留物理教师候选人和职前干教师完成至少十个“建立它，教它，离开它”的演示。

This Robert Noyce Teaching Scholarship Phase I program for STEM teachers of physics will develop, implement, and evaluate strategies to increase the number of highly qualified physics teachers by extending SUNY Geneseo's commitment to preparing physics and other STEM teachers and supporting them as they enter the teaching profession. There is a documented national shortage of high school physics teachers who can prepare today's students for opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics and this project will provide a model for ways to address this national need in physics. This Robert Noyce Teaching Scholarship project includes several components to support and encourage physics and STEM majors interested in teaching physics in underserved high schools after earning their New York State teaching certification. These components include (1) early teaching experiences for physics and STEM undergraduates, such as presenting physics demonstrations in local classrooms; (2) a Physics Teacher Summer Field School and Summer Internships at local science camps to provide first- and second-year undergraduates with valuable teaching experience in STEM fields; (3) mentoring by successful local physics teachers through the NYS Master Teacher Program and Geneseo's physics Teacher-in-Residence; (4) Noyce Scholarships to support 35 upper-level undergraduates committed to teaching STEM in high-need school districts, (5) travel to national and regional meetings of professional societies to learn about best practices in science teaching, and (6) induction and mentoring for teachers in the early years of their teaching careers. This Noyce project has four specific objectives, with evaluation metrics tailored to each: increasing the number of physics graduates certified to teach high school physics; improving confidence and physics teaching efficacy of non-physics, STEM majors pursuing secondary certification; increasing the diversity of certified physics teachers drawn from under-represented groups; and providing meaningful early teaching experiences to assist with recruitment and retention of physics teacher candidates and pre-service STEM teachers completing at least ten "Build-It, Teach-It, Leave-It" demonstrations.
