Talented Teachers in Training for Texas, Expanded

该项目旨在满足国家的需要，培养高效的STEM教师，为高需求的学区服务。为此，它打算招收不同群体的STEM本科生，并支持他们成为熟练的STEM教师。该项目将使用两种策略来招聘未来的教师。该项目将在斯蒂芬·F·奥斯汀州立大学和北休斯顿孤星学院的校园内提供两门只有一个学分的课程。这些课程旨在帮助STEM专业的学生探索STEM教学生涯。该项目还将通过为期一周的有偿STEM教师工作阴影招聘未来的STEM教师，这将帮助STEM学生近距离体验STEM教师生涯。本科STEM专业被录用成为认证教师的，将通过奖学金获得经济支持。这些诺伊斯学者还将接受每两周一次的培训和强有力的指导和指导，这些指导和指导将在他们执教的早期继续进行。该项目预计，这些支持将减少本科生自然减员和STEM教师自然减员。该项目建立在诺伊斯计划支持的前两个教师培训项目的基础上。它由斯蒂芬·F·奥斯汀州立大学与休斯顿北部孤星学院合作领导，与安吉丽娜学院、基尔戈尔学院和泰勒初级学院合作，与拉夫金和纳科多奇独立学区(这两个学区都是高需求)合作，并与第7区教育服务中心合作。该项目是在JacksTeach的招聘基地开展的，该项目是对斯蒂芬·F·奥斯汀州立大学(Stephen F.Austin State University)全国认可的UTeach项目的复制。此外，在三年级之前，将从STEM硕士教师工作影子中为STEM专业招聘学者。该项目旨在招聘和支持26名本科生STEM专业成为认证教师，并在高需求学区教授STEM至少四年。该项目的目标包括：通过参加JacksTeach或STEM Master Teach就业影子计划吸引100多名STEM学生；招聘将在STEM毕业并成为教师的坚定的STEM本科生；支持诺伊斯毕业生的专业发展和持续研究；以及为学者提供与文化相关的教育学专业知识。这个Track 1：奖学金和津贴项目是由罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划(Noyce)支持的。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，并支持有经验的、模范的K-12教师成为高需求地区的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 serve the national need of preparing highly effective STEM teachers to serve in high-need school districts. To do so, it intends to recruit a diverse group of STEM undergraduate students and support them to become skilled STEM teachers. The project will use two strategies to recruit future teachers. The project will offer two one-credit courses on the campuses of Stephen F. Austin State University and Lone Star College Houston North. These courses are intended to help STEM majors explore a career in STEM teaching. The project will also recruit future STEM teachers through a one-week, paid STEM Master Teacher Job Shadow, which will help STEM students experience a STEM teaching career up close. The undergraduate STEM majors who are recruited to become certified teachers will be supported financially through scholarships. These Noyce Scholars will also receive biweekly training and robust mentoring and coaching that will continue in in their early years of teaching. The project expects that these supports will reduce both undergraduate attrition and STEM teacher attrition. This project builds upon the infrastructure of two previous teacher preparation projects supported by the Noyce Program. It is led by Stephen F. Austin State University in partnership with Lone Star College Houston North, in collaboration with Angelina College, Kilgore College, and Tyler Junior College, with Lufkin and Nacogdoches Independent School Districts (both high-need), and with the Region 7 Education Service Center. The project works from a recruiting base of JacksTeach, which is a replication of the nationally recognized UTeach program at Stephen F. Austin State University. In addition, Scholars will be recruited from the STEM Master Teacher Job Shadow for STEM majors prior to the junior year. The project aims to recruit and support 26 undergraduate STEM majors to become certified teachers and teach STEM in a high-need school district for at least four-years. Project aims include the following: engaging over 100 STEM students through participation in either the JacksTeach or STEM Master Teach Job Shadows; recruiting committed STEM undergraduates who will graduate in STEM and become teachers; supporting Noyce graduates with professional development and sustained research; and equipping Scholars with expertise in culturally relevant pedagogy. This Track 1: Scholarship 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 teachers to become STEM master teachers in high-need 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.
