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.

该项目旨在通过培养高效的数学教师领导者来服务于国家利益，这些教师领导者可以满足康涅狄格州 33 个高需求学区的数学特定教学需求。康涅狄格州联盟学区为该州 40% 以上的学生及其大部分学生提供服务。为了支持这些地区的有色人种学生、低收入学生和英语学习者学生，该项目将为数学教师领导者实施为期五年的数学领导力发展计划。该项目旨在利用数学教师领导者计划来加强和进步。 ，并扩大研究主体参与者将参加研讨会、研究生证书课程和数学领导学院项目活动，以增强数学教师领导者作为导师、教练和专业人士所需的技能。康涅狄格大学的这个项目包括内格教育学院和文理学院的合作者以及与康涅狄格州国务院的合作伙伴关系该项目将招募教育和联盟区。来自联盟学区的 20 名在职中学数学教师的目标是：(1) 培养一支知识渊博、高效的数学教师领导干部队伍；(2) 利用数学教师领导者作为学校、学区和整个地区的教学领导者。国家；(3) 开发计划和系统，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）。总体而言，该计划旨在：(1) 影响大量不同的学生（例如，种族/民族、社会经济地位、英语学习者）；(2) 促进高需求学校环境中数学教师的保留；(3) 提高教学效率，特别注重公平；(4)建立提高数学教育教学能力的基础设施。该项目将通过参与严格的评估过程来了解和加强项目成果，并将通过两次项目会议、联盟区网络、实践者和研究文章以及项目该轨道 3：硕士教学奖学金项目由罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划 (Noyce) 支持。诺伊斯计划支持有才华的 STEM 本科专业和专业人士成为高效的 K-12 STEM 教师和经验丰富、堪称典范的 K-12 教师。它还支持反映高需求学区 K-12 STEM 教师的持久性、保留性和有效性的研究。该奖项是 NSF 的法定使命，已被视为值得通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
