With funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, the University of West Florida (UWF) Recruiting Impassioned STEM Educators (RISE) capacity building project will develop a multidimensional program for recruiting and retaining highly-qualified middle and secondary Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teachers in the Northwest Florida region. RISE educational partners will include UWF, Northwest Florida State College, Pensacola State College, STEM Master Teachers, STEM learning centers, and three area school districts that have the combined challenge of serving both urban and rural low-economic high need schools. The RISE educational partners will work together to recruit highly qualified STEM majors to become secondary teachers. These teacher candidates will impact students in grades 6-12 by working in local school districts and science learning centers. A recruitment course, Exploring Inquiry Teaching, will serve as a model for other undergraduate colleges to recruit math and science students to become teachers.Within the one-year grant project, RISE will achieve the following major outcomes: 1. Design a Professional Teaching Certification Program for STEM majors; 2. Increase recruitment to STEM teaching by developing a new course to attract STEM majors to the field of education; 3. Build a learning community for future STEM middle and secondary teachers; 4.Target recruitment of dual-enrolled high school students to a career in STEM teaching; 5. Formalize internship sites at STEM learning centers; 6. Create social media sites for STEM students, Master Mentors, and faculty; 7. Increase retention of STEM teachers by training STEM Master Mentors; and 8. Engage high-needs schools that serve both urban and rural low-economic students. In addition, RISE will formalize cooperative activities in the STEM disciplines, connect higher education institutions with local schools and teachers, and expand the STEM learning community in Northwest Florida. To broaden the distribution of results, RISE team members will disseminate reports and resources developed through the project with grant partners as well as at regional and national conferences and through publications in peer reviewed journals.

在美国国家科学基金会罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的资助下，西佛罗里达大学 (UWF) 招募充满热情的 STEM 教育工作者 (RISE) 能力建设项目将制定一个多维计划，用于招募和留住高素质的中学生科学技术工程和佛罗里达州西北部地区的数学（STEM）教师。 RISE 教育合作伙伴将包括 UWF、西北佛罗里达州立学院、彭萨科拉州立学院、STEM 大师级教师、STEM 学习中心以及三个地区学区，这些学区面临着为城市和农村低经济高需求学校提供服务的综合挑战。 RISE教育合作伙伴将共同招募高素质的STEM专业人士成为中学教师。这些教师候选人将通过在当地学区和科学学习中心工作来影响 6 至 12 年级的学生。招生课程“探索探究式教学”将为其他本科院校招收数学和科学学生成为教师提供借鉴。在为期一年的资助项目中，RISE将取得以下主要成果： 1.设计专业教学认证STEM专业课程； 2、增加STEM教学的招募，开发新课程，吸引STEM专业进入教育领域； 3. 为未来STEM中中学教师建立学习社区； 4.定向招收双学子高中生从事STEM教学工作； 5. 正规化 STEM 学习中心的实习地点； 6. 为 STEM 学生、硕士导师和教师创建社交媒体网站； 7. 通过培训STEM大师导师来提高STEM教师的保留率； 8. 让高需求学校为城乡低经济学生提供服务。此外，RISE还将正规化STEM学科的合作活动，将高等教育机构与当地学校和教师联系起来，并扩大佛罗里达州西北部的STEM学习社区。为了扩大成果的传播范围，RISE 团队成员将与资助伙伴以及在区域和国家会议上以及通过同行评审期刊上的出版物来传播通过该项目开发的报告和资源。
