Increasing and Diversifying the Mathematics Teacher Pipeline for High-Need Districts

在Robert Noyce教师奖学金计划（Noyce）的支持下，该项目旨在满足国家对招聘和培养高素质中学数学教师的需求，这些教师将致力于在高需求学区任教。该项目通过为四个宾夕法尼亚州城市和农村学区招聘和培训数学教师，有可能直接惠及宾夕法尼亚州伊利社区：伊利（城市）、易洛魁（城市）、科里地区（农村）和西北（农村）。100名学生将被招募到该项目的高中数学研究所，这是一个为期两年的项目，探索数学作为一门学科和潜在的职业道路。每年，将有六名STEM大二本科生与来自高需求学区的学生进行实习。作为校内方法培训的一部分，诺伊斯的本科生学者将为来自合作学区的来访的K - 12学生设计和教授课程。项目调查员将通过指导和专业发展机会为诺伊斯校友提供持续的支持。在该项目为期五年的时间里，将有16名数学专业的本科生获得诺伊斯奖学金。每位本科生奖学金获得者将从合作学区分配两名Noyce导师。学者们将在农村和城市合作地区完成实地体验和为期一周的浸入式体验。该项目旨在：(1)增加学校中学数学教育和数学专业双专业毕业生人数；(2)为当地高需求学区的学生提供丰富的数学体验；(3)为Noyce学者提供促进高需求学区工作的积极倾向的经验；(4)装备和支持诺伊斯学者在高需求学区取得成功的职业生涯。对这些目标进展的评估将利用调查、论文、课堂观察和离职面谈。结果将通过会议报告和学术文章传播到更广泛的数学教育界。Noyce计划支持有才华的STEM本科专业和专业人士成为高需求学区有效的K - 12数学和科学教师，并支持经验丰富的模范K - 12 STEM教师成为STEM大师教师。它还支持对高需求学区K - 12教师的持久性、留任性和有效性的研究。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

With support from the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce), this Track 1: Scholarships and Stipends project aims to serve the national need of recruiting and preparing highly-qualified secondary mathematics teachers who are dedicated to teaching in high-need school districts. This project has the potential to directly benefit the Erie, Pennsylvania community by recruiting and training mathematics teachers for four urban and rural Pennsylvania school districts: Erie (urban), Iroquois (urban), Corry Area (rural), and Northwestern (rural). One hundred students will be recruited to the project's High School Mathematics Institute, a two-year program exploring mathematics as a discipline and potential career path. Each year, an internship experience will engage six sophomore STEM undergraduates with students from high-need school districts. As a part of their on-campus methods training, undergraduate Noyce scholars will design and teach lessons for visiting K - 12 students from partnering school districts. Project investigators will provide continued support for Noyce alumni through mentorship and professional development opportunities. Sixteen undergraduate mathematics majors will be awarded Noyce scholarships over the project's five-year duration. Each undergraduate scholar will be assigned two Noyce mentors from partnering school districts. Scholars will complete field experiences and one-week immersions in both rural and urban partnering districts. The project aims to: (1) increase the number of dual-major graduates from the institution's secondary mathematics education and mathematics programs; (2) provide rich mathematical experiences for students from local high-need school districts; (3) provide experiences for Noyce scholars that promote positive dispositions for working in high-need school districts; and (4) equip and support Noyce scholars for successful careers in high-need school districts. Evaluation of progress toward these goals will utilize surveys, essays, lesson observations, and exit interviews. Results will be disseminated to the broader mathematics education community through conference presentations and scholarly articles. The Noyce program supports talented STEM undergraduate majors and professionals to become effective K - 12 mathematics and science teachers in high-need school districts and experienced, exemplary K - 12 STEM teachers to become STEM master teachers. It also supports research on the persistence, retention, and effectiveness of K - 12 teachers in high-need school districts.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.
