Science Math Access, Research, and Teaching (SMART) is a Track 1 Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program project at California State University Stanislaus. SMART aims to address the severe shortage of STEM teachers in the university's service area. While the region has an overwhelmingly large K-12 minority student population, very few teachers are from underrepresented populations. As such, it is critical to increase the number of teachers who share their students' cultural heritage. The overarching goal of this project is to prepare a diverse group of mathematics and science teachers who can serve as role models and leaders in high-need schools in the region. SMART will establish professional learning communities and provide participants with pedagogical training, mentoring, and ongoing teaching experiences in highly diverse educational settings. The project will engage participants in carefully structured training and field experiences to help them develop subject matter knowledge, understanding of linguistics, language acquisition, academic language acquisition, and subject-specific methods to make content accessible to all students. Other project activities will include monthly cohort meetings, a summer research experience, and tutoring opportunities. In collaboration with school district teacher induction programs, SMART will develop a New Teacher Retention Program. This program will be aimed at providing incoming teachers with guidance and holistic support needed to teach mathematics and science to diverse student populations. Over a five-year period, SMART aims to increase the number of STEM credential candidates at CSU Stanislaus from 119 to 200. Half of these credential candidates will be students of minority backgrounds. SMART will recruit, prepare, and retain 31 Noyce scholars. Noyce scholars will include STEM majors from CSU Stanislaus and UC Merced, transfer students from nearby community colleges, and local career changers interested in entering the teaching profession. An energetic, capable, diverse community of STEM teachers has the potential to lower the educational barriers that minority and English Language Learner students often encounter when completing mathematics and science coursework. A significant percentage of CSU Stanislaus students are not only ethnically and linguistically diverse, but also are the first in their family to attend college. SMART will provide the educational community with a better understanding of the training and support systems needed to recruit and prepare students of minority background for a career as a teacher in a high-need school.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.

科学数学访问、研究和教学 (SMART) 是加州州立大学斯坦尼斯劳斯分校的一轨罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划项目。 SMART旨在解决大学服务领域STEM教师严重短缺的问题。虽然该地区拥有绝大多数 K-12 少数族裔学生群体，但来自弱势群体的教师却很少。因此，增加与学生分享文化遗产的教师数量至关重要。该项目的总体目标是培养一支多元化的数学和科学教师队伍，他们可以成为该地区高需求学校的榜样和领导者。 SMART 将建立专业学习社区，并为参与者提供高度多样化的教育环境中的教学培训、指导和持续教学经验。该项目将让参与者接受精心组织的培训和现场经验，帮助他们发展学科知识、对语言学的理解、语言习得、学术语言习得和特定学科的方法，使所有学生都能接触到内容。其他项目活动将包括每月的队列会议、夏季研究经历和辅导机会。 SMART 将与学区教师入职计划合作制定新教师保留计划。该计划旨在为新任教师提供向不同学生群体教授数学和科学所需的指导和全面支持。 SMART 的目标是在五年内将科罗拉多州立大学斯坦尼斯洛斯分校 STEM 证书候选人的数量从 119 人增加到 200 人。这些证书候选人中有一半将是少数族裔背景的学生。 SMART 将招募、准备和保留 31 名诺伊斯学者。诺伊斯学者将包括科罗拉多州立大学斯坦尼斯劳斯分校和加州大学默塞德分校的 STEM 专业学生、附近社区学院的转学生以及有兴趣进入教学行业的当地职业转变者。一个充满活力、有能力、多元化的 STEM 教师群体有可能降低少数族裔和英语学习者学生在完成数学和科学课程时经常遇到的教育障碍。科罗拉多州立大学斯坦尼斯劳斯分校的很大一部分学生不仅在种族和语言上多样化，而且是家里第一个上大学的人。 SMART 将使教育界更好地了解招募和准备少数族裔背景的学生在高需求学校担任教师所需的培训和支持系统。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为是值得的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来提供支持。
