The project aims to serve the national need of building capacity to prepare well-qualified STEM teachers, particularly to serve high-need school districts in New Orleans, Louisiana. This project will work toward developing an innovative undergraduate degree and licensure program to address STEM teacher needs in the following foundational disciplines: Biology/Life Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics. While centered at Dillard University, the project includes partnerships with Delgado Community College and Xavier University to help plan and build capacity toward a distinctive multi-institutional curricular pathway. This pathway could encourage and support talented, diverse students to pursue K-12 STEM teaching in local high-need school districts. The project will establish capacity for a strong transfer pathway from Delgado Community College, a two-year urban institution, to Dillard University, an urban HBCU in New Orleans, and finally to Xavier University’s master's program for a teaching certificate. The project goals include: (1) a needs assessment for STEM teacher education in the New Orleans area, (2) the establishment of strong partnerships between the three institutions and several local high-need schools, to be identified in the planning year, and (3) the design of new STEM major courses offering a specialized teacher training emphasis and culturally responsive curriculum. This Capacity Building 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 effectiveness and retention 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建立能力的需求，以准备合格的STEM教师，特别是为路易斯安那州新奥尔良的高需求学区服务。该项目将致力于开发创新的本科学位和被许可人计划，以在以下基础学科中满足STEM教师需求：生物学/生命科学，化学，数学，计算机科学和物理学。该项目以迪拉德大学为中心，包括与德尔加多社区学院和泽维尔大学的合作伙伴关系，以帮助计划和建立能力，以实现独特的多机构现代途径。这一途径可以鼓励和支持有才华的潜水员学生在当地高需求的学区进行K-12 STEM教学。该项目将建立从一家为期两年的城市机构德尔加多社区学院（Delgado Community College）到新奥尔良城市HBCU的迪拉德大学（Dillard University）的强大转会途径的能力，最后是Xavier University的硕士课程，获得教学证书。项目目标包括：（1）在新奥尔良地区对STEM教师教育的需求评估，（2）在计划年度中确定这三个机构和几所当地高需求的学校之间建立了牢固的合作伙伴关系，以及（3）设计新的STEM主要课程，提供专门的教师培训强调和文化响应的curriculum。罗伯特·诺伊斯（Robert Noyce）教师奖学金计划（NOYCE）支持该能力建设项目。 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教师，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有效性和保留的研究。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，被认为是珍贵的支持。
