The project aims to serve the national need of preparing high-quality mathematics teachers to become adaptable educators capable of thinking and acting effectively in new or changing situations and to adjust their teaching as needed. The project will provide opportunities for freshmen and sophomores to work in informal math education settings both on and off campus. The project endeavors to increase the number of undergraduate mathematics majors receiving licensure and provide Scholars with an integrated enrichment program to identify skills and knowledge enabling them to be more flexible in their classroom. The project’s emphasis on recruiting and supporting students from populations underrepresented in STEM fields to become mathematics teachers, as well as addressing teacher adaptability in various contexts, is important when building a mathematics teaching profession.This project at Kansas State University (KSU) includes partnerships with the Center for Intercultural and Multilingual Advocacy, the Rural Education Center, and the Professional Development School Network (PDSN). The PDSN is a network of K-12 districts and schools who host teacher candidates from KSU in rigorous, carefully sequenced field experiences and collaborate as the University conducts and disseminates research examining critical questions facing educators today. These partnerships provide direct interaction with districts that represent urban, suburban, and rural school contexts. Over the next 5 years, the project will produce 18 new STEM Teachers and will form a community of practice that will create relationship-centered experiences to support preservice teacher preparation as well as strengthen relationships with high-need schools and math teachers. This project has a specific focus on developing adaptability among the Noyce Scholars that are supported and will investigate three research questions: what knowledge, skills, understanding, tools and/or resources enable the preservice teachers to recognize adaptability and to be more adaptable; to what extent does adaptability change over the course of a school year; and to what extent can adaptability be increased? 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 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需要准备高质量的数学教师，以成为能够在新的或不断变化的情况下进行有效思考和行动的适应性教育者，并根据需要调整其教学。该项目将为新生和大二学生提供在校园内外的非正式数学教育环境中工作的机会。该项目努力增加获得许可证的本科数学大师的数量，并为学者提供集成的丰富计划，以识别技能和知识，使他们能够在课堂上更加灵活。 The project’s emphasis on recruiting and supporting students from populations underrepresented in STEM fields to become mathematics teachers, as well as addressing teacher adaptability in various contexts, is important when building a mathematics teaching profession.This project at Kansas State University (KSU) includes partnerships with the Center for Intercultural and Multilingual Advocacy, the Rural Education Center, and the Professional Development School Network (PDSN). PDSN是一个由K-12地区和学校组成的网络，他们以严格的，精心排序的现场经验来接待来自KSU的教师候选人，并随着大学的进行和传播，研究了当今教育工作者面临的关键问题的研究。这些合作伙伴关系与代表城市，郊区和农村学校环境的地区直接互动。在接下来的5年中，该项目将创造18名新的STEM教师，并将组成一个实践社区，该社区将创造以关系为中心的经验，以支持职前教师准备，并加强与高需求的学校和数学老师的关系。该项目特别着眼于支持支持的Noyce学者之间的适应性，并将研究三个研究问题：哪些知识，技能，理解，工具和/或资源使职前教师能够识别适应性并更适应性；在学年的过程中，适应性在多大程度上发生变化；并且在多大程度上可以提高适应性？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老师，成为高需求学区的STEM大师教师。它还支持对高需求学区K-12 STEM教师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审查标准来评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
