Preparing 21st Century Science and Mathematics Teachers for the Urban Classroom

该项目旨在满足国家的需要，培养高素质的数学和科学教师，以便在高需求的中小学服务。美国未来的竞争力取决于美国学生对21世纪STEM职业生涯的准备程度。纽约州立大学-雷曼学院教师培训计划旨在确保更多的学生为未来的STEM职业生涯做好准备。为此，它将招募三批获得STEM学科学士学位的个人，并支持他们获得教师认证的教育硕士学位。这项支持将包括在公立学校进行为期两学期的辅导体验。该项目预计将加强进入高需求地区的数学和科学教学的管道，并提高纽约公立小学、初中和高中的STEM教学质量。纽约市立大学雷曼分校的这个项目包括与布朗克斯和弗农山的纽约高需求学区建立合作伙伴关系。在该项目头三年的每一年，它打算每年招募9名拥有STEM学位的个人，并为他们提供奖学金和其他支持，以完成硕士学位。因此，到颁奖结束时，应该有27名新的STEM认证教师在高需求学校任教。该项目将为诺伊斯学者提供课程作业，以培养他们在科学和数学课堂上与中小学生合作的内容、知识和教学技能。其他项目目标包括发展诺伊斯学者将教与学与其语言和文化不同的学生的经历联系起来的能力。这些技能预计将在布朗克斯的新世界高中和芒特弗农的一所K-8学校进行为期两学期的身临其境的体验，在那里，诺伊斯学者将由经验丰富的在职STEM课堂教师进行指导。该项目还旨在建设主办学校的能力，通过成为“最佳做法”示范点，为职前教师提供高质量的在线和现场临床经验。该项目还打算改革和实施中小学教师联合培养计划，以满足当地学校的需求。最后，该项目旨在产生和传播关于教师在数学和科学教育中的有效性与其准备工作之间的关系的新知识。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。

The project aims to serve the national need of preparing highly qualified mathematics and science teachers to serve in high-need elementary and secondary schools. Future U.S. competitiveness depends on how well prepared the nation’s students are for 21st century careers in STEM. The CUNY-Lehman College teacher preparation program intends ensure that more students are prepared for these future STEM careers. To do so, it will recruit three cohorts of individuals who have obtained baccalaureate degrees in a STEM discipline and support them in earning a master’s degree in education with teacher certification. The support will include a two-semester, mentored experience in public schools. The project is expected to strengthen the pipeline into mathematics and science teaching in areas with high needs and to improve the quality of STEM teaching in public elementary, middle, and high schools in New York. This project at the City University of New York-Lehman includes partnerships with high-need, New York school districts in the Bronx and in Mount Vernon. During each of the first three years of the project, it intends to recruit annual cohorts of nine individuals who have a STEM degree and provide them with scholarships and other support to complete a master’s degree. As a result, 27 new certified STEM teachers should be teaching in high need schools by the end of the award. The project will provide the Noyce Scholars with coursework that builds their content knowledge and pedagogical skills in working with elementary and secondary school students in science and mathematics classrooms. Additional project goals include development of the Noyce Scholars’ ability to connect teaching and learning to the experiences of their linguistically and culturally diverse students. These skills are expected to be honed during a two-semester sequence of immersive experiences at New World High School in the Bronx and at a K-8 school in Mount Vernon, where the Noyce Scholars will be mentored by experienced in-service STEM classroom teachers. The project also aims to build the capacity of the host schools to provide high-quality, clinical experiences for pre-service teachers, both online and onsite, by becoming “best practice” demonstration sites. The project also intends to reform and implement a joint elementary-secondary teacher preparation program to meet local school needs. Finally, the project aims to generate and disseminate new knowledge about the relationships between teacher effectiveness and their preparation in mathematics and science education. 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 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.
