A Multi-Faceted Approach to Building STEM Teacher Education Capacity Utilizing Near-Peer Tutoring of High School Students

Fontbonne大学利用高中生近同伴辅导的多方面方法来建设STEM教师教育能力是Robert Noyce教师奖学金计划中的一个能力建设项目，该项目将建立能力，为代表性不足的学生创造一条管道，使他们成为高需求学区成功的中学数学和生物教师。这条管道将把Fontbonne大学与其他拥有不同人口的高需求学区连接起来。Fontbonne还将与社区学院建立关系并达成正式协议，以增加这些机构的学生进入Fontbonne的渠道。在Fontbonne大学，学生将在完成教育学士学位课程的同时继续学习STEM。这项能力拨款还将提高高中学生在STEM方面的成绩，特别是那些在高需求学校、少数族裔学生占很大比例的学生。该项目的目标是增加地区高中学生，转学生和当前丰博纳大学STEM学生的数量，他们选择从事中学数学和生物教师的职业，并提高学生在中学数学和生物执照方面取得成功的准备。为了实现这些目标，该项目将与人口多样化的高需求高中建立持续的伙伴关系，以支持数学和科学教育。具体而言，该项目将制定一个辅导计划，以加强对STEM中代表性不足的高中生的招募和准备。此外，该项目将与社区学院开展持续合作，通过科学和数学方面的2+2衔接协议支持学士学位的完成，开发一个协调的咨询系统，为寻求STEM二级执照的学生提供明确的指导。并根据STEM课程课程与所需执照考试的一致性，开发一个面对面的研讨会和在线辅导计划，以确保学生在州教师执照考试中取得成功。这些活动将鼓励Fontbonne大学的高中、转学和现有STEM专业的学生考虑将中学数学和科学教学作为职业道路。这些活动还将为学生寻求完成STEM教育执照提供明确的课程方向和额外的支持。

Fontbonne University's Multi-Faceted Approach to Building STEM Teacher Education Capacity Utilizing Near-Peer Tutoring of High School Students is a Capacity Building Project in the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program that will build capacity for creating a pipeline for underrepresented students to become successful secondary mathematics and biology teachers in high-need school districts. This pipeline will connect Fontbonne University with additional high-need school districts with diverse populations. Fontbonne will also develop relationships and formal agreements with community colleges to increase the pipeline of students from these institutions into Fontbonne. At Fontbonne University, students will continue their studies in STEM alongside their education bachelor's degree programs. This capacity grant will also increase the achievement of high school students in STEM, specifically students in high-need schools with a large percentage of underrepresented minority students.The goals of this project are to increase the number of area high school students, transfer students, and current Fontbonne University STEM students who choose to pursue careers as secondary mathematics and biology teachers and to improve the preparation of students for success in secondary mathematics and biology licensure. To meet these goals, this project will develop ongoing partnerships with high-need high schools with diverse populations to support mathematics and science education. Specifically, this project will develop a tutoring program to strengthen the recruitment and preparation of underrepresented high school students in STEM. In addition, this project will develop ongoing collaborations with community colleges to support bachelor's degree completion through 2+2 articulation agreements in science and mathematics, develop a coordinated advising system to facilitate clear direction for students seeking secondary STEM licensure, and develop an in-person seminar and online tutoring program based on alignment of the STEM curriculum courses with the required licensure exams to ensure student success on the state teaching licensure exams. These activities will encourage high school, transfer, and current STEM majors at Fontbonne University to consider secondary mathematics and science teaching as a career path. The activities will also facilitate a clear course direction and additional support for students as they seek to complete their STEM education licensure.
