This project aims to serve the regional and the national need to prepare and retain a greater number of high-quality mathematics teachers. It focuses specifically on the development of highly effective mathematics teacher leaders for high-need school districts. The project aims to expand mathematics teaching and learning opportunities, particularly for traditionally underrepresented students. To do so, it will simultaneously address three issues: improve students’ mathematical sense-making; advance students’ growth mindset, e.g., a conviction that that they can learn mathematics; and improve teachers’ skills in mathematics instruction to incorporate research-based practices for engaging English language learners. The project intends to advance teacher education by providing innovative models of teacher professional development, emphasizing teaching for equity, growth mindset, and cultural awareness. In addition, it intends to provide teachers with support that can be sustained within districts beyond the scope of the project and develop teacher leadership skills so that they can help improve mathematics education in an entire school district.This project at Santa Clara University includes partnerships with San Jose's Eastside Union High School District and the Silicon Valley Education Foundation. The project’s six-year goals include preparing and retaining 20 high-quality professional mathematics educators who have the needed skills and commitment to teach in high-need local education agencies in East San Jose, California, and surrounding communities. These mathematics educators will be recruited from mathematics and mathematics-related fields (e.g., engineering). The candidates who do not already possess a master’s degree will be supported in their first year in earning one through the University’s Master of Arts in Teaching plus Teaching Credential program. The project will support the retention of these talented individuals in mathematics teaching through graduate teacher preparation studies that include field/clinical experiences and pedagogical content knowledge preparation, as well as a four-year in-service professional and leadership development sequence. This project will conduct research to determine which professional development activities most effectively build teachers’ capacity to promote growth mindset in their students. The project utilizes an “in-the-moment” coaching approach that is modeled after Lampert and colleagues’ (2013, 2010) rehearsal work supporting pre-service teachers’ enactment of ambitious mathematics instruction. The project is poised to improve student mathematics achievement in high-need schools, as well as increase opportunities for mathematics education and STEM careers for students from under-served communities. This Track 2: Teaching Fellowships project is supported through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce). The Noyce program supports talented STEM undergraduate majors and professionals to become effective K-12 STEM teachers and experienced, exemplary K-12 STEM teachers to become STEM master teachers in high-need school districts. It also supports research on the persistence, retention, and effectiveness of K-12 STEM teachers in high-need school districts.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.

该项目旨在为高度数学的教师领导者的发展而努力，以扩大数学教学的教学机会，尤其是对于传统上代表性的学生，该项目的发展。数学的培养教师在数学方面的技能通过提供教师专业发展的模型来纳入基于研究的教师教育，并强调了公平的教学。在Santa Clara Nection的整个学区中，该项目和开发技能的帮助改善了San Jose's Tside Union High School District和Silicon Valley Education Foundation的数学。 - 在东加利福尼亚州东圣何塞和周边社区的高需求的当地教育机构中教授的质量专业数学教育者将从数学和数学相关的领域（例如，工程）招募。没有改变学位的候选人将在他们的第一个渴望n教学的艺术和教学计算课程中得到支持。 。 2013年），支持教师的雄心勃勃的数学指导，这是在高需求的学校社区中的成就。本科生和专业人士成为有效的K-12 STEM教师，并经验丰富的K-12 STEM老师成为高需求学区的STEM大师教师。坚定的使命和Beend Demed值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估。
