0440490The project aims are (1) to better prepare students from the large and mostly underserved EBRPSS school system to meet high academic standards in collegiate STEM disciplines, (2) to foster the appreciation and capability of college students for high quality STEM teaching methods, and (3) to graduate high-caliber U.S. research doctorates who are well-prepared for content-oriented training of prospective secondary math and science teachers at colleges and universities in the U.S. Supported by NSF's STEM Teacher Preparation and R. Noyce Scholarship Programs, LSU's newly redesigned secondary STEM certification program features extensive field based preparation and broad-based collaboration among university faculty and a cadre of highly qualified STEM mentor teachers from EBRPSS. In this project, the mentor teachers help to identify each year eight pairs of math and science teachers who welcome the support of GK-12 Fellows and the professional development opportunities provided. Each teacher pair works with a Graduate Fellow and two Undergraduate Fellows throughout the academic year. Graduate Fellows spend ten hours a week providing direct assistance to the two teachers, with time given off for assignments for other GK-12 Tasks, such as presentations of .Discovery Kits within the LSU Science on Wheels Program. Undergraduate Fellows provide a wide range of instructional support in Math Labs they organize. The intellectual merit of the proposal is based upon the extensive experience of the participating STEM investigators in the project, the breadth and depth of leadership and infrastructure provided by LSU, and the strong partnership among the university faculty and a corps of dedicated middle and high school mentor teachers. The project allows the testing of a model to enhance the scope and quality of undergraduate and graduate education at a large state university by helping to improve mathematics and science education in a school district that embodies all of the challenges that are faced by many districts nationwide, including low performing schools, a large minority population, and schools with a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.The broader impacts include an increased interest of faculty in academic STEM departments in K-12 math and science education, an increase in recruitment rates of high school students into STEM disciplines, especially among minorities and/or women, and an increase in the number of strong research-doctorates in STEM disciplines that are better prepared to provide content-based instruction to prospective secondary teachers as well as to in-service secondary teachers. Through careful documentation and dissemination of the project results, this project will have applications across the country, particularly in research universities that are in close proximity to school systems plagued by low student performance and a dearth of students being offered challenging STEM curricula.

0440490该项目的目标是（1）更好地为来自大型且主要是服务不足的EBRPS学校系统的学生做好准备，以符合大学STEM学科的高学术标准，（2）促进大学生对高质量STEM教学方法的欣赏和能力，以及（3）毕业的美国研究博士学位，他们在美国大学和大学的学院和大学的前瞻性二级数学和科学教师中有充分的准备，并得到NSF的STEM教师准备和R. Noyce奖学金计划的支持经过重新设计的二级STEM认证计划具有广泛的基于现场的准备工作和大学教师之间的广泛合作，以及来自EBRPS的高素质STEM导师老师的干部。在这个项目中，导师教师帮助确定每年的八对数学和科学教师，他们欢迎GK-12家伙的支持以及提供的专业发展机会。在整个学年中，每个老师对与一个研究生研究员和两个本科研究员一起工作。研究生伙伴每周花十个小时为两位老师提供直接帮助，并为其他GK-12任务提供了时间，例如在LSU科学启示了车轮计划中的Discovery套件。本科生在他们组织的数学实验室中提供了广泛的教学支持。该提案的智力优点是基于参与STEM调查人员在项目中的广泛经验，LSU提供的领导力和基础设施的广度和深度，以及大学教职员工之间的牢固合作伙伴关系以及专门的中学和高中兵团导师老师。该项目允许测试模型，以帮助一所大型州立大学的本科和研究生教育的范围和质量通过帮助改善学区的数学和科学教育，这些学区都体现了全国许多地区面临的所有挑战，包括表现低下的学校，少数人口以及具有很高比例经济不利的学生的学校。更广泛的影响包括在K-12数学和科学教育中，教师对学术学学院的兴趣增加学校学生进入STEM学科，尤其是少数群体和/或女性，以及STEM学科中强大的研究重要人物的数量增加，他们准备更好地为潜在的中学教师提供基于内容的教学以及服务中学的中学教学老师。通过仔细的文档和对项目结果的传播，该项目将在全国范围内提出申请，特别是在与学生表现较低的学校系统紧邻的研究型大学中，并且缺乏学生提供挑战性的STEM课程。
