项目摘要

This scholarship program is bringing together a number of partners to cooperatively recruit, train, employ and induct 40 new math, science and technology teachers for the Chicago Public Schools. Partners include the Department of Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Mathematics, and Physics; The College of Education at ISU, The Center for Mathematics Science and Technology at ISU, the Little Village School Partnership of Chicago, and the City Colleges of Chicago. The project is significantly increasing the number of preK-12 teachers by recruiting and fostering new STEM teacher candidates, and financing their attendance for up to two years in existing high quality NCATE-accredited certification programs for teacher preparation. Sixteen scholarships for undergraduates and 24 stipends for post-baccalaureate students in the areas of math and science are being provided. In addition, the project is making particular efforts to recruit and support under-represented and minority populations from the Chicago Public Schools Little Village Area into the teaching professions. An ongoing research program is being conducted on a factor analysis of the pre-service experiences that lead to particular urban career patterns of retention, quality, and student achievement. This is of particular relevance for this scholarship program, and is providing specific evidence of the types of experiences which can lead to teacher retention, and student success in mathematics and science. Further, when comparisons are made with the greater ISU teacher education candidate population, the research is expected to lead to programmatic changes and insights in urban mathematics and science teacher preparation.

该奖学金计划汇集了众多合作伙伴，合作为芝加哥公立学校招聘、培训、雇用和引进 40 名新的数学、科学和技术教师。合作伙伴包括化学系、生物科学系、数学系和物理系； ISU 教育学院、ISU 数学科学与技术中心、芝加哥小乡村学校合作伙伴以及芝加哥城市学院。该项目通过招募和培养新的 STEM 教师候选人，并资助他们参加长达两年的现有高质量 NCATE 认证教师培训认证项目，显着增加了 preK-12 教师的数量。为数学和科学领域的本科生提供 16 项奖学金，为学士后学生提供 24 项助学金。此外，该项目还特别努力招募和支持芝加哥公立学校小村庄地区代表性不足的少数族裔进入教学行业。一项正在进行的研究项目正在对职前经历进行因素分析，这些经历会导致特定的城市职业模式的保留、质量和学生成绩。这与该奖学金计划特别相关，并提供了可以导致教师保留以及学生在数学和科学方面取得成功的经验类型的具体证据。此外，当与更多的 ISU 教师教育候选人群体进行比较时，该研究预计将导致城市数学和科学教师准备方面的计划变化和见解。
