Recruiting, Developing, and Retaining Tomorrow's Outstanding STEM Teachers in Oklahoma

培养更多高素质的科学和数学教师是国家的当务之急。通过美国国家科学基金会的罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的资助，这一阶段的诺伊斯教师奖学金项目将招募，准备和支持24名学生在STEM学科攻读学士学位，同时在俄克拉荷马州完成教师认证的要求，为期五年。该项目旨在解决全国和地方优秀STEM中学教师短缺的问题，并满足教师队伍多样化的需求，以利用这个国家提供的丰富资源。该项目是兰斯顿大学、俄克拉荷马城社区学院、俄克拉荷马城和格斯里学区之间的合作项目。LU Noyce Scholar职前教师候选人将从四组中招募：社区大学STEM专业；兰斯顿大学（LU）现有的STEM学者，他们表示更倾向于教学，或者在毕业后不打算立即在其学科中攻读研究生；LU未申报的专业，表示对STEM学科的教学感兴趣，并表现出对STEM学科的敏锐，从而可以攻读STEM学科的学位；以及俄克拉荷马州高中的大学预科学生。该项目还将利用LU数十年来长期展示的能力，作为俄克拉荷马州非裔美国中学教师的主要培训资源，以及其发展优秀STEM专业的记录，这些专业将把他们的核心内容知识、对学习的热情和对社会正义的承诺带到教学和学习企业。除了战略性的招聘活动，该项目的组成部分还包括：奖学金前支持计划；LU Noyce教师培训项目；LU Noyce计划绩效，保留和丰富经验计划；以及卢努伊斯大学毕业后支持/保留计划。该项目建立并整合了许多基于研究的方法和工具，包括学习能力表现记录（CPRL），这是一种教学和学习协议，旨在支持学生解决问题的能力，以及STEM数字村，这是一个在线STEM学习社区，支持和认可学者的活动和表现，提供教育资源，并支持在LU校园之外进行监测，以教育为导向的讨论。在俄克拉荷马州和全国范围内，这一LU Robert Noyce努力的最终社会效益将是培养和支持一群高素质的STEM教师，他们热爱自己的STEM学科，并且在高需求学区的教学中有良好的基础。外部评估人员将进行形成性和总结性评估，该评估将检查在线工作方面的影响，以及与24名Langston Noyce学者的招聘、发展和保留相关的成功指标。

Developing more, highly qualified science and mathematics teachers is a national priority. Through funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, this Phase I Noyce Teacher Scholarship project will recruit, prepare, and support twenty-four students pursuing baccalaureate degrees in a STEM discipline to simultaneously complete requirements for teacher certification in Oklahoma over a five-year period. This project is responsive to both the national and local shortage of outstanding STEM secondary teachers and to the need to diversify the teaching workforce to take advantage of the richness that this country offers. This project is a collaboration among Langston University, the Oklahoma City Community College, and Oklahoma City and Guthrie School Districts. LU Noyce Scholar pre-service teacher candidates will be recruited from four groups: community college STEM majors; existing Langston University (LU) STEM Scholars who indicate a preference for teaching or who are not committed to pursuing graduate school in their discipline immediately upon graduation; LU undeclared majors who indicate an interest in teaching and exhibit acumen in STEM subjects such that they would pursue a degree in a STEM discipline; and pre-college students in Oklahoma's high schools. This project will also leverage LU's decades of long demonstrated capabilities as the primary training resource for Oklahoma's African-American secondary teachers, and its track record to develop outstanding STEM majors who will bring their core content knowledge, passion for learning and commitment to social justice to the teaching and learning enterprise. In addition to strategic recruitment activities, components of the project will include: a Pre-scholarship Support Program; LU Noyce Teacher Preparation Program; LU Noyce Program Performance, Retention, and Enrichment Experiences Program; and the LU Noyce Post-Graduation Support/Retention Program. The project builds upon and integrates a number of research-based approaches and tools, including the Competency Performance Recordings for Learning (CPRL), a teaching and learning protocol demonstrated to support students' problem solving skills, and the STEM Digital Village, an online STEM learning community that supports and recognizes the Scholar's activities and performance, provides educational resources, and supports monitored, education-oriented discussion beyond LU's campus. The ultimate societal benefit of this LU Robert Noyce endeavor, both within Oklahoma and nationwide, will be the development and support of a diverse group of highly qualified STEM teachers, who have a love for their STEM discipline and who are well-grounded in teaching in high-needs school districts. An external evaluator will conduct a formative and summative assessment, which will examine the impact of the online aspects of the work, as well as the indicators of success associated with the recruitment, development, and retention of the twenty-four Langston Noyce Scholars.
