The Rice University Robert Noyce Master Teaching Fellowship Program

Noyce硕士教学奖学金项目旨在为16名学校数学领导者的发展提供活动，这些领导者在良好的内容和基于研究的教学，领导能力，成人教育和数学倡导技能方面有着深厚的基础。大师教师将参与课程，突出数学内容和教学技术，并通过个人决定（AVID）路径培训，利用写作，探究，协作，组织和阅读（WICOR）和文化相关教学的课堂策略进行补充进步。大师教师将有各种各样的机会担任领导角色，如表演数学示范，合作教学课程，并在他们的高需求学校担任地区倡导者。该项目涉及莱斯大学学校数学项目、塔皮亚卓越与公平中心、格拉斯科克继续教育学院、AVID和休斯顿独立学区的教育工作者之间的合作。Noyce硕士教学奖学金项目将利用Avid Path培训和互补性、内容丰富的研究生课程，培养硕士教师为大学准备的STEM学生的能力。对WICOR和文化相关教学的关注是对新兴研究机构的回应，这些研究机构建议，对教学领导者的培训应将高质量的教学方法与公平的学习环境相结合。该项目的一个新颖之处在于，它引入了高级教师将获得的成人教育技能，然后他们将在指导其他教师时应用这些技能。这项工作以性学理论为基础，该理论有六个原则来解决成人学习者的问题：(1)需要知道，(2)自我概念，(3)先前经验，(4)学习准备，(5)学习取向，(6)学习动机。项目评估将包括通过《数学课堂观察协议的稳健理解教学》评估主教师的有效性，通过《AVID教师调查》修改版评估主教师的领导能力，以及通过《教学实践清单》评估主教师的成人教育技能。多样化处置指数将用于评估他们对多样性和公平问题的理解。评估计划的结果将通过德克萨斯州教育局、德克萨斯州高等教育协调委员会、德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的查尔斯·a·达纳中心、德克萨斯州地区教育服务中心和哈里斯县教育部在整个地区传播。

This Noyce Master Teaching Fellowship project seeks to provide activities for the development of 16 school-based leaders in mathematics, who are deeply grounded in sound content and research-based pedagogical, leadership, adult education, and mathematics advocacy skills. The master teachers will participate in coursework that highlights mathematics content and pedagogical techniques and complementary Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) Path Trainings on classroom strategies that utilize writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading (WICOR) and culturally relevant teaching. The master teachers will have a variety of opportunities to take leadership roles such as performing mathematics demonstrations, co-teaching courses, and acting as district advocates in their high-needs schools. The project involves collaboration between the Rice University School Mathematics Project, Tapia Center for Excellence and Equity, and Glasscock School of Continuing Studies, AVID, and educators from the Houston Independent School District.This Noyce Master Teaching Fellowship project will utilize Avid Path Trainings and complementary, content-rich graduate courses to develop master teachers ability to prepare college-ready, STEM students. The focus on WICOR and culturally relevant teaching are in response to an emerging body of research that recommends that training for instructional leaders integrate high-quality instructional methods in an equitable learning environment. A novel aspect of the project is the introduction to adult education skills that master teachers will receive, which they will then apply as they mentor other teachers. This work is grounded in the theory of andragogy, which has six principles that address adult learners' (1) need to know, (2) self-concept, (3) prior experiences, (4) readiness to learn, (5) orientation to learning, and (6) motivation to learn. Project evaluation will include assessment of the master teachers' effectiveness through Teaching for Robust Understanding of Mathematics classroom observation protocols, leadership through a modified version of the Survey for AVID Teachers, and adult education skills through the Andragogical Practices Inventory. The Diverse Disposition Index will be use to assess their understanding of diversity and equity issues. The results of the evaluation plan will be disseminated throughout the region through the Texas Education Agency, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Charles A. Dana Center at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas Regional Education Service Centers, and the Harris County Department of Education.
