STEM Pre-Service Teacher Scholars Program with Special Training to Support English Language Learners

在Robert Noyce教师奖学金计划（Noyce）的支持下，加州大学河滨分校的第一阶段：奖学金和津贴项目旨在满足当地高需求学区对高质量STEM教师的需求。该项目计划招募、支持和培养53名本科生，成为化学和物理等急需的STEM领域的认证教师。这些诺伊斯学者将会说英语和西班牙语，并将接受有效的英语学习者教学实践培训。它还将衡量新的STEM教师学者的自我效能感和动机，以及他们在高需求学区/教室的教学质量、安置和保留情况。这个STEM教师学者招聘和培训项目旨在满足当地社区的需求。该项目的结果将为改善STEM教学，特别是英语学习者的教学提供国家模式，解决服务于全国不断增长的服务不足学生的关键需求。该项目旨在实现以下目标：招募、培养和认证53名学者，其中包括5名从社区学院转学到哈佛大学的学者；为急需教师的STEM学科的教师做好准备；从大学和地区社区学院培养本科STEM教师；让教师们做好准备，在英语学习者占很大比例的高需求学区教室里有效地传授21世纪的STEM教学。该项目在加州大学河滨分校和三所地区社区学院（河滨城市学院、诺科学院和莫雷诺山谷学院）之间建立了强有力的合作关系，以招募和培训STEM学生成为教师。招募学者将重点关注以下STEM专业：生命科学、数学科学、物理科学和工程，优先考虑化学和物理专业（该地区最缺乏的内容领域）。本科生学者将参加Val Verde联合学区的英语学习者专业发展计划。该项目有可能成为培养具有STEM主题和教学法专业知识的STEM教师的国家典范，这些教师能够充分响应英语学习者的需求。Noyce计划支持有才华的STEM本科专业和专业人士成为有效的K-12 STEM教师，并支持经验丰富的模范K-12 STEM教师成为高需求学区的STEM硕士教师。它还支持对高需求学区K-12 STEM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 at the University of California, Riverside aims to address the local need for high-quality STEM teachers in high-need school districts. This project plans to recruit, support, and prepare 53 undergraduates to become certified teachers in highly needed STEM areas such as chemistry and physics. These Noyce Scholars will be able to speak both English and Spanish and will be trained in effective teaching practices for English language learners. It will also measure the self-efficacy and motivation of new STEM Teacher Scholars, as well as their teaching quality, placement, and retention in high need school districts/classrooms. This STEM Teacher Scholar recruitment and training project is designed to meet the needs of the local community. Results of the project will inform national models for improving STEM teaching and learning, especially for English language learners, addressing a vital need to serve the growing national population of underserved students.The project is designed to achieve the following goals: recruit, educated, and credential 53 Scholars, including five who have transferred to the University from community colleges; prepare teachers from STEM disciplines for which there is an acute need for teachers; create a pipeline of undergraduate STEM teachers from the University and regional community colleges; and prepare teachers to effectively deliver 21st century STEM instruction in high-need school district classrooms with a large proportion of English Language Learners. This project creates strong collaborations between the University of California, Riverside, and three regional community colleges: Riverside City College, Norco College, and Moreno Valley College, to recruit and train STEM students to become teachers. Recruitment of Scholars will focus on the following STEM majors: life sciences, mathematical sciences, physical sciences, and engineering, with a preference for chemistry and physics majors (content areas of greatest shortage in the region). Undergraduate Scholars will participate in Val Verde Unified School District's English language learners professional development program. The project has the potential to serve as a national model for producing STEM teachers with expertise in STEM subject matter and pedagogy, and who are fully responsive to the needs of students who are English language learners. The Noyce Program supports talented STEM undergraduate majors and professionals to become effective K-12 STEM teachers and experienced, exemplary K-12 STEM teachers to become STEM master teachers in high-need school districts. It also supports research on the persistence, retention, and effectiveness of K-12 STEM 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.
