This project aims to serve the national need of preparing highly skilled STEM teachers for high-need school districts. The project is centered at a Hispanic-Serving Institution and will be conducted in partnership with a community college and a high-need school district. The project aims to support 24 Noyce Scholars as they complete STEM degrees and gain secondary teaching certification. At the heart of this partnership is a decade-long mutual commitment to develop and retain culturally competent, day-one-ready secondary STEM educators through a strong community-engaged teacher preparation program. The project seeks to ensure that Noyce Scholars will know and understand the students they will teach. To this end, the project will engage community mentors to share local knowledge and cultural awareness with the Noyce Scholars. In addition, the project incorporates service-learning and self-efficacy-building experiences, with an emphasis on relationship-building with a diverse community. The overall goal is to prepare equity-focused teachers who will use culturally relevant, highly effective teaching strategies that increase student learning, success, and sense of belonging in STEM.This project at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi includes a partnership with Del Mar College, Texas A&M University, and West Oso School District. It seeks to recruit 24 highly qualified, diverse biology, chemistry, marine and life sciences, mathematics, and physics majors and support them to become culturally competent critical thinkers and effective STEM educators in high-need school districts. The project intends to generate new knowledge related to how project activities develop future teachers’ STEM self-efficacy, STEM interest, and changes in perception of inclusive teaching and learning. The project also seeks to identify mechanisms, resources, and policies that support and constrain effective implementation of the teacher preparation program and to create a replicable model that can be replicated at other institutions with similar resources and challenges. Outcomes from this project will be disseminated through presentations and scholarly publications. This Track 1: Scholarships and Stipends 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 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.

该项目旨在满足国家需要为高需求学区的高技能STEM教师准备的需求。该项目以西班牙裔服务机构为中心，将与社区学院和高需求的学区合作进行。该项目旨在支持24个Noyce学者完成茎学位并获得二级教学认证。这种伙伴关系的核心是通过强大的社区参与的教师准备计划来发展和保留具有文化胜任的，一日一日的次要STEM教育者的长达十年共同承诺。该项目旨在确保Noyce学者将了解并了解他们将教的学生。为此，该项目将吸引社区导师与Noyce学者分享当地知识和文化意识。此外，该项目还结合了服务学习和自我有效的建设经验，并着重于与潜水员社区建立关系。总体目标是准备以股权为中心的教师，他们将使用具有文化相关的，高效的教学策略，以提高学生学习，成功和属于STEM中的归属感。德克萨斯州A＆M大学Corpus Christi的项目包括与德克萨斯州A＆M大学的合作伙伴关系，包括与德克萨斯州A＆M University和West OSO学区合作。它旨在招募24名高素质，多样化的生物学，化学，海洋和生命科学，数学和物理专业的专业，并支持他们成为具有文化胜任的批判性思想家和高需求学区的有效STEM教育者。该项目旨在产生与项目活动如何发展未来教师的自我有效，STEM的兴趣以及对包容性教学感知的变化有关的新知识。该项目还旨在确定支持和约束教师准备计划的有效实施的机制，资源和政策，并创建一个可复制的模型，该模型可以在具有类似资源和挑战的其他机构中复制。该项目的结果将通过演讲和学术出版物传播。这首歌1：奖学金和津贴项目得到了罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划（NOYCE）的支持。 NOYCE计划支持有才华的STEM本科专业和专业人士成为有效的K-12 STEM老师，并经验丰富的K-12教师，成为高需求学区的STEM大师教师。它还支持有关高需求学区K-12 STEM教师的持久性，保留和有效性的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估值得支持。
