This project addresses the Nation's growing need to recruit, prepare, and provide effective induction support for new STEM middle and high school teachers with degrees in STEM fields and strong content-specific pedagogical preparation. In particular the project will create an innovative pathway to teaching in Washington, DC for STEM professionals and STEM majors. This population represents an untapped supply of future teachers committed to teaching in high needs schools. Upon completion, the project will have validated a strategy to tap into this pool of STEM disciplinary experts, and will design and pilot a comprehensive set of learning experiences tailored to them. The project work will feature education and STEM faculty working with expert mathematics and science teachers in developing and piloting new methods to support teacher candidate development. Museum internships will be established and infused throughout the program, because museums are places in the urban landscape where teacher candidates can participate in authentic learning experiences and practice teaching a diverse population of students.The long-term goal of this collaborative effort is to greatly enhance the DC area's ability to prepare "disciplinary experts" for urban mathematics and science teaching. There are three project outcomes. First, the project will discover how to increase the number of STEM professionals and undergraduate STEM majors preparing to teach in the DC area. Second, the project will institutionalize a sustainable nexus of collaboration among George Washington University's (GWU) education and STEM faculty, the District of Columbia Public and Public Charter Schools, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Carnegie Academy for Science Education, and GWU's Center for Civic Engagement, to improve the mathematics and science teacher education pipeline in Washington, DC. Third, a robust program of study will be produced featuring redesigned teacher preparation coursework, integrated and innovative field experiences, and early career mentoring. A systematic analysis of pilot data collected from selected student work and video from courses and field placements will facilitate the development of new curriculum emphasizing methods that teach candidates to use their knowledge in mathematics and science, not just to judge student reasoning, but to recognize and use school age students' good thinking (i.e. good scientific and mathematical ideas) as building blocks for learning. Finally, the project is designed to respond to the need to extend the scope of teacher training beyond what is traditionally done within the boundary of a university-based teacher education program, and therefore will also produce a specialized induction and early career support strategy that will link candidates with mentors who will follow them in their early years of teaching in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

该项目解决了该国日益增长的招募，准备，准备并为具有STEM领域学位和特定于内容特定于内容的教学准备的新的STEM中学和高中教师提供有效的归纳支持。特别是该项目将在华盛顿特区为STEM专业人员和STEM专业的专业人士创造创新的教学途径。这个人口代表着未开发的未来教师，致力于在高需求学校中教学。完成后，该项目将验证一项策略，以利用这一STEM学科专家，并将设计和试行一套为他们量身定制的学习经验。该项目工作将以教育和STEM教师与专家数学和科学教师合作，以开发和试行新方法来支持教师候选人的发展。博物馆的实习将在整个计划中建立和注入，因为博物馆是城市景观中教师候选人可以参与真实学习经验的地方，并练习教授多样化的学生人群。这项协作努力的长期目标是极大地增强了DC领域的“为Urban Maltematic和Science教学做好准备的DC领域的能力”。 有三个项目成果。首先，该项目将发现如何增加准备在DC地区任教的STEM专业人士和本科STEM专业的数量。其次，该项目将在乔治华盛顿大学（GWU）教育与STEM教师，哥伦比亚特区公立和公立特许学校，史密森尼国家自然历史博物馆，卡内基科学教育学院，GWU科学教育学院以及GWU公民互动中心，以改善数学教师教师教育inton，DC。第三，将制定一个强大的研究计划，其中包括经过重新设计的教师准备工作，综合和创新的现场经验以及早期职业指导。 对从选定的学生工作以及从课程和现场安排的视频收集的试验数据的系统分析将有助于开发新的课程，强调方法，这些方法教会候选人在数学和科学领域使用他们的知识，而不仅仅是判断学生的推理，而是识别和使用学龄学生的良好思维（即良好的科学和数学思想）（即良好的科学和数学思想）。最后，该项目旨在应对将教师培训的范围扩展到传统上在大学教师教育计划范围内进行的范围的需求，因此，还将制定一种专业的入职和早期职业支持策略，将候选人与导师联系起来，这些候选人将在华盛顿特区大都会地区的早期教学中关注他们。
