The project aims to serve the national need of preparing highly qualified mathematics and science teachers to serve in high-need elementary and secondary schools. Future U.S. competitiveness depends on how well prepared the nation’s students are for 21st century careers in STEM. The CUNY-Lehman College teacher preparation program intends ensure that more students are prepared for these future STEM careers. To do so, it will recruit three cohorts of individuals who have obtained baccalaureate degrees in a STEM discipline and support them in earning a master’s degree in education with teacher certification. The support will include a two-semester, mentored experience in public schools. The project is expected to strengthen the pipeline into mathematics and science teaching in areas with high needs and to improve the quality of STEM teaching in public elementary, middle, and high schools in New York. This project at the City University of New York-Lehman includes partnerships with high-need, New York school districts in the Bronx and in Mount Vernon. During each of the first three years of the project, it intends to recruit annual cohorts of nine individuals who have a STEM degree and provide them with scholarships and other support to complete a master’s degree. As a result, 27 new certified STEM teachers should be teaching in high need schools by the end of the award. The project will provide the Noyce Scholars with coursework that builds their content knowledge and pedagogical skills in working with elementary and secondary school students in science and mathematics classrooms. Additional project goals include development of the Noyce Scholars’ ability to connect teaching and learning to the experiences of their linguistically and culturally diverse students. These skills are expected to be honed during a two-semester sequence of immersive experiences at New World High School in the Bronx and at a K-8 school in Mount Vernon, where the Noyce Scholars will be mentored by experienced in-service STEM classroom teachers. The project also aims to build the capacity of the host schools to provide high-quality, clinical experiences for pre-service teachers, both online and onsite, by becoming “best practice” demonstration sites. The project also intends to reform and implement a joint elementary-secondary teacher preparation program to meet local school needs. Finally, the project aims to generate and disseminate new knowledge about the relationships between teacher effectiveness and their preparation in mathematics and science education. 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求，以准备高素质的数学和科学教师，以在高需求的小学和中学任职。未来的美国竞争力取决于该国学生为STEM的21世纪职业的准备准备。 Cuny-Lehman学院教师准备计划打算为这些未来的STEM职业做好准备。为此，它将招募三个在STEM纪律中获得学士学位的个人，并通过教师认证获得教育硕士学位。支持将包括在公立学校的两学期，修补的经验。预计该项目将加强在需求较高的地区的数学和科学教学方面，并提高纽约公立小学，中学和高中的STEM教学质量。该项目在纽约市长勒曼大学（University of New York-Lehman）包括与布朗克斯（Bronx）和弗农山（Mount Vernon）的高需求的纽约学区合作。在该项目的前三年中，它打算招募拥有STEM学位的九个人的年度人群，并为他们提供教育和其他支持以完成硕士学位。结果，在奖项结束时，应在高需求学校中教授27名新的认证教师。该项目将为Noyce学者提供课程，从而在与科学和数学课堂上的小学和中学生合作时建立其内容知识和教学技能。其他项目目标包括发展Noyce学者将教学和学习与语言和文化多样学生的经验联系起来的能力。预计这些技能将在布朗克斯的新世界高中和弗农山的K-8学校的两学期沉浸式体验中受到尊重，在那里经验丰富的在职STEM课堂老师将考虑Noyce学者。该项目还旨在通过成为“最佳实践”演示网站，以为在线和现场提供高质量的临床经验，为在线和现场提供高质量的临床经验的能力。该项目还打算改革和实施一项共同的基础院长准备计划，以满足当地学校的需求。最后，该项目旨在产生和传播有关教师有效性与其在数学和科学教育方面的准备之间的关系的新知识。 Robert Noyce教师奖学金计划（NOYCE）支持该赛道1奖学金和津贴项目。 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老师，成为高需求学区的STEM大师教师。它还支持有关K-12 STEM教师在高需求学区的持久性，保留和有效性的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，认为通过评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
