This project aims to serve the national interest by developing highly effective mathematics teacher leaders who can address mathematics-specific instructional needs of the 33 high-need school districts in Connecticut. The Connecticut Alliance Districts serve over 40% of the state’s students and most of its students of color, low-income students, and English learner students. To support these districts, the project will implement a five-year mathematics leadership development program for mathematics teacher leaders. The project aims to use the mathematics teacher leader program to strengthen, advance, and grow the body of research on teacher leadership and its impact on supporting equitable outcomes in mathematics education. Participants will engage in workshops, a graduate certificate program, and a mathematics leadership academy. Project activities will augment the skills mathematics teacher leaders need to serve as mentors, coaches, and professional development providers for prospective and current mathematics teachers and enhance the state’s capacity to deliver ongoing mathematics teacher professional development.This project at the University of Connecticut includes collaborators from the Neag School of Education and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and partnerships with the Connecticut State Department of Education and Alliance Districts. The project will recruit 20 exemplary in-service secondary mathematics teachers from the Alliance Districts. The goals are to: (1) develop a cadre of knowledgeable and effective mathematics teacher leaders; (2) utilize mathematics teacher leaders as instructional leaders within their schools, districts, and throughout the state; and (3) develop programming for and a system to deliver ongoing learning opportunities for other mathematics teachers and teacher leaders (e.g., graduate certificate program, online learning modules). Overall, this program is designed to: (1) impact a large number of diverse students (e.g., race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, English learners); (2) promote the retention of mathematics teachers in high-needs school settings; (3) enhance instructional effectiveness, with a specific focus on equity; and (4) create infrastructure for increasing math education instructional capacity. The project will be informed and enhanced by its engagement in a rigorous evaluation process. Lessons-learned and project outcomes will be disseminated through two project conferences, Alliance Districts network, practitioner and research articles, and the project website. This Track 3: Master 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 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.

该项目旨在通过开发高效的数学教师领导者来满足国家利益，他们可以解决康涅狄格州33个高需求学区的特定数学教学需求。康涅狄格州联盟区为该州40％的学生及其大多数有色人种，低收入学生和英语学习者的学生提供服务。为了支持这些地区，该项目将为数学教师领导者实施五年的数学领导力发展计划。该项目旨在使用数学教师领导者计划来加强，进步和发展有关教师领导力的研究及其对支持数学教育中公平成果的影响。参与者将参加研讨会，研究生证书课程和数学领导力学院。项目活动将扩大技能数学教师领导者需要担任准和当前数学教师的导师，教练和专业发展提供者，并增强该州提供持续的数学教师专业发展的能力。该项目将招募来自联盟区的20个典范中二级数学教师。目标是：（1）建立知识渊博有效的数学教师领导者的干部； （2）利用数学教师领导者作为学校，地区和整个州的教学领袖； （3）为其他数学教师和教师领导者提供持续的学习机会（例如，研究生证书计划，在线学习模块）为制定编程和系统。总体而言，该计划旨在：（1）影响大量不同的学生（例如，种族/种族，社会经济地位，英语学习者）； （2）在高需求学校环境中促进数学教师的保留； （3）提高教学效率，具体侧重于公平； （4）创建基础设施以提高数学教育能力。该项目将通过其参与严格的评估过程来告知和增强。课程学习和项目成果将通过两个项目会议，联盟区网络，从业者和研究文章以及项目网站来传播。这首歌3：大师教学奖学金项目得到了罗伯特·诺伊斯（Robert Noyce）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。
