MATH AND SCIENCE SCHOLARS FOR THE INLAND EMPIRE

Noyce Track 1项目是内陆帝国的数学和科学学者项目，旨在加强圣贝纳迪诺市联合学区的数学和科学教学，圣贝纳迪诺市联合学区是加州面临最大挑战的公立学区之一。该项目将通过有效的教师培训和支持，解决南加州大学缺乏合格的中学STEM教师的问题。它还将通过扩大该地区硕士教师的专业发展活动，包括有效指导新教师的培训，支持长期能力建设。该项目建立在先前诺伊斯助学金成功的基础上，旨在1)加强和扩大加州州立大学圣贝纳迪诺分校数学和科学学者以及圣贝纳迪诺州立大学硕士教师的招聘；2)在该地区建立一支能够有效和热情地指导诺伊斯奖学金获得者和学校新教师的教师领导队伍。该项目将为诺伊斯学者提供广泛的教学准备，包括在一所高需求学校的早期实地经验。在诺伊斯奖学金获得者获得教师资格之前和之后，导师教师的支持旨在帮助在高需求学区留住这些高素质的教师。该机构将引入新的数学和科学部分的早期教学经验，以改善STEM专业的招聘，从而增加未来STEM教师的渠道。此外，该项目将开发一个以校园丰富活动为特色的创新支持网络，一个在线诺伊斯学者社区，以及一个与该地区在职教师一起的广泛指导计划。该项目的研究议程包括调查将实施的基于课堂的指导模式在多大程度上改善了教师保留率和新教师的准备情况。该项目最主要的好处是打算培养25名训练有素的STEM教师。该项目对其他希望为职前教师制定成功的招聘和指导计划的大学和学区也具有潜在价值。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This Noyce Track 1 project, Math and Science Scholars for the Inland Empire, aims to enhance mathematics and science teaching in San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD), one of California's most challenged public-school districts. This project will address the shortage of well-qualified secondary STEM teachers in SBCUSD through effective teacher preparation and support. It will also support long-term capacity building by expanding professional development activities for master teachers in the district, including training to effectively mentor new teachers. This project builds upon the success of prior Noyce grants and seeks to 1) strengthen and expand recruitment of both mathematics and science Scholars at California State University-San Bernardino, as well as master teachers in the SBCUSD who will mentor the Scholars; and 2) build a cadre of teacher leaders in the district who are effective at and passionate about mentoring both Noyce Scholars and new teacher at their schools.This project aims to recruit 25 secondary science and mathematics teachers from a viable pool of STEM majors at California State University-San Bernardino. The project will provide Noyce scholars with extensive preparation for teaching, including early field experiences in a high-need school. Supports from mentor teachers before and after the Noyce Scholars earn their teaching credentials are intended to assist in retaining these highly-qualified teachers in high need school districts. A new Early Teaching Experience in Mathematics and Science component will be introduced at the institution to improve recruitment of STEM majors, thus growing the pipeline of future STEM teachers. Additionally, the project will develop an innovative support network that features campus enrichment activities, an online Noyce Scholars community, and an extensive mentoring program with in-service teachers in the area. The project's research agenda includes investigation of the extent to which the classroom-based mentoring model that will be implemented improves teacher retention and new teacher preparedness. The overarching benefit of this project is in its intent to develop 25 well-prepared STEM teachers. The project also has potential value to other universities and districts that want to develop successful recruiting and mentoring programs for pre-service teachers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
