Making Noyce in New Hampshire: Building Capacity for a Statewide Master Teachers Program

《在新汉普郡制造噪音：为全州范围内的硕士教师计划建设能力》是一项能力建设项目，旨在为罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划中的第三轨道硕士教学奖学金提案做准备。该项目的目标是将全州的主要利益相关者聚集在一起，在新汉普郡(NH)制定未来的诺伊斯硕士教学奖学金项目。由于科学教育向下一代科学标准(NGSS)的转变、全州范围内新的成绩评估的发展以及学生人口结构的变化，该项目正值新罕布夏州的关键时刻。为了在未来拥有一支有竞争力的STEM劳动力队伍，教师将需要强有力的STEM教学方法和课程，以改善所有学生的教育机会和成就，包括社会经济弱势群体中表现不佳的学生群体、英语学习者和种族/少数民族。项目小组将把NH的主要利益攸关方聚集在一起，为高需求的学区制定一项提案，为教师提供在其地区成为首席教师的机会。诺伊斯能力建设项目的主要合作伙伴将包括北卡罗来纳州教育部；两个重点学区：北卡罗来纳州罗切斯特和纳舒亚市；两个专业学会：北卡罗来纳州科学教师协会和北卡罗来纳州数学教师协会；以及新汉普郡大学，包括该大学的STEM教育研究人员和教师专业发展专业知识。考虑到NH的规模和自治权，实施全州范围的硕士教师计划将需要大量的伙伴关系建设和需求评估。在能力建设期间，该项目将把这些关键利益攸关方聚集在一起，进行需求评估，并制定全州范围的计划提案。在新汉普郡制造诺伊斯项目将有以下主要目标：1)在地区内建立强大的STEM教育学专业知识，2)为学生发展和保持更好的科学和数学学习，以及3)开发和提供STEM教学和课程，以改善成绩较差的学生的教育机会和成就。该项目的长期目标包括提高STEM教师的能力，使其成为高需求学区的教师领导。该项目认识到，如果不建立一个了解个别地区和教师候选人需求的网络，就不会成功地确定和安置首席教师。因此，这一能力建设项目将使我们能够努力为NH的硕士教师建立一个成功的模式，这种模式将在全州的学区工作，并可以作为其他面临不断变化的标准和学生人口统计挑战的州的模式。

The Making Noyce in New Hampshire: Building Capacity for a Statewide Master Teachers Program is a Capacity Building project in preparation for a Track 3 Master Teaching Fellowships proposal in the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program. The project has a goal of bringing together key stakeholders from across the state to develop a future Noyce Master Teaching Fellowships project in New Hampshire (NH). This project comes at a critical time for New Hampshire because of science education's shift toward Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the development of new statewide performance assessments, and a changing student demographic. In order to have a competitive STEM workforce in the future, teachers will need strong STEM pedagogy and a curriculum that improves the educational opportunities and achievements for all students, including the underachieving student populations of the socioeconomically disadvantaged, English language learners, and racial/ethnic minorities. The project team will bring together key stakeholders in NH to develop a proposal for high-need school districts to provide opportunities for teachers to become Master Teachers in their districts. The primary partners of this Noyce Capacity Building project will include the NH State Department of Education; two key school districts: Rochester and Nashua, NH; two professional societies: the NH Science Teachers Association and the NH State Math Teachers Association; and the University of New Hampshire, including STEM education researchers and teacher professional development expertise from the university. Given the size and autonomy of NH, implementing a statewide program for Master Teachers will require a significant partnership building and needs assessment. During the capacity building period, the project will bring together these key stakeholders to conduct a needs assessment and develop a statewide program proposal. The Making Noyce in New Hampshire project will have the following primary goals: 1) establishing strong within-district STEM pedagogy expertise, 2) developing and sustaining enhanced science and mathematics learning for students, and 3) developing and delivering STEM instruction and curricula that improve the educational opportunities and achievements of underachieving student populations. The project's long term goal includes advancing the capacity of STEM teachers to become teacher leaders in high-need school districts. This project recognizes that identifying and placing Master Teachers will not be successful without the creation of a network that understands the needs of individual districts and teacher candidates. As such, this capacity building project will allow us to work towards a successful model for Master Teachers in NH, one that will work in school districts across the state and could be used as a model for other states that are challenged with changing standards and student demographics.
