Enhanced Noyce Explorer, Scholar, and Teacher Development for High-Need Schools in New York City

该项目旨在帮助解决纽约市合格STEM教师短缺的问题。这些短缺往往导致纽约市的学校用没有相关学科认证的教师填补STEM教师空缺。该项目的主要目标是培养高效的STEM教师，在纽约市的高需求学校任教。为此，该项目将招募STEM专业的本科生成为教师，首先向300多名一年级和二年级的本科生介绍STEM教学生涯。该项目将挑选高年级本科生STEM专业的学生成为诺伊斯学者。它将支持他们获得STEM学位，并参加数学教育或技术教育方面的课程，以便他们能够获得初步的教学认证。对诺伊斯奖学金的支持包括奖学金、实习、暑期支持计划，以及由STEM、教育教职员工和学区合作伙伴提供的指导。纽约市理工学院的这个为期五年的项目包括与曼哈顿社区学院和纽约市公立学校的合作。项目目标包括：(I)培训至少27名获得纽约州认证的STEM教师，以便在纽约市教授数学和计算机科学；(Ii)加强现有的三级结构(探索者-学者-教师)，以创建一条STEM教师培养途径，从而获得纽约州的教学执照。一年级和二年级的学生将被指定为探险者，三年级和四年级的学生将被指定为学者。该项目的教师将是将在高需求学校任教的毕业生。该项目旨在促进一个系统的教育基础设施，提供所需的高质量STEM教育，为学生准备成为明天有效的STEM教师做好准备。该项目是纽约市理工学院和曼哈顿社区学院之间的合作伙伴关系，这两个机构都是为西语裔服务的机构，该项目将为未被充分代表的种族和少数族裔学生成为教师提供一条可持续的长期途径。通过这样做，该项目有可能增加纽约市来自代表性不足人口的认证STEM教师的数量。这个Track 1：奖学金和津贴项目由罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划(Noyce)提供支持。Noyce计划支持有才华的STEM本科专业和专业人员成为有效的K-12 STEM教师，并支持经验丰富、模范的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、保留率和有效性的研究。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 project aims to help address the shortage of qualified STEM teachers in New York City. These shortages often result in New York City schools filling STEM teacher vacancies with teachers who lack the relevant subject certification. The project’s main goal is to develop highly effective STEM teachers to teach in New York City high-need schools. To do so, the project will recruit undergraduate STEM majors to become teachers, starting by introducing STEM teaching careers to more than 300 first- and second-year undergraduates. The project will select upper division undergraduate STEM majors to become Noyce Scholars. It will support them as they earn their STEM degree and take courses in mathematics education or technology education so they can achieve initial teaching certification. Supports for Noyce Scholars include scholarships, internships, summer support programs, and mentoring by STEM and Education faculty and school district partners. This five-year project at New York City College of Technology includes partnerships with Borough of Manhattan Community College and New York City public schools. Project goals include: (i) preparing at least twenty-seven New York State-certified STEM teachers to teach mathematics and computer science in New York City; and (ii) enhancing an existing three-tier structure (explorer-scholar-teacher) to create a STEM teacher preparation pathway that will lead to New York State licensure in teaching. First- and second-year undergraduate students will be designated as Explorers and third- and fourth-year students as Scholars. The project's teachers will be the graduates who will teach at high need schools. The project aims to contribute to a systemic educational infrastructure that provides the high-quality STEM education needed to prepare students to become effective STEM teachers of tomorrow. The project's collaborative partnership between New York City College of Technology and Borough of Manhattan Community College, both Hispanic-Serving Institutions, will provide a sustainable long-term pathway for preparing underrepresented racial and ethnic minority students to become teachers. In doing so, the project has the potential to increase the number of certified STEM teachers in New York City who are from underrepresented populations. This Track 1: Scholarships and Stipends project is supported through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce). 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.
