The project aims to serve the national need of K-12 teacher leaders in STEM-related teaching fields in South Carolina by providing an immersive 6-year transformative program that includes leadership, science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM), and Project-Based Learning (PBL) coursework and professional learning experiences with partnership organizations. The project utilizes a small size cohort model to allow for more targeted attention of the Master Teaching Fellows (MTFs), i.e., teacher leaders, and to offer districts flexibility and support given the time allocations required for the fellowship. The program will produce twenty (20) STEM Teacher Leaders. The program plans to recruit experienced and exemplary K-12 STEM teachers under the Noyce definition who have completed a minimum of an undergraduate degree and are licensed and teaching in their field at partner local educational agencies (LEAs).This project at Limestone University (LU), a Minority Serving Institution (MSI), includes partnerships with two non-profit organizations: Branch Alliance for Educator Diversity (BranchED) and South Carolina’s Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention & Advancement (CERRA). The project will impact students in two high-need school districts in South Carolina (Cherokee School District 1 and Spartanburg Schools District 3) by retaining and supporting highly effective Title 1 STEM teacher leaders. The project aims to advance knowledge on effective practices that have the potential to impact the development, support, and retention of STEM teacher leaders in high-need K-12 schools. The plan for developing STEM teacher leaders is organized under five goals: (1) Build Capacity to Lead (2) Design and Evaluate Equitable, Data-informed Curriculum and Instruction (3) Mentor and Lead Beginning Educators (4) Advocacy Skill Development (5) Improve Impact on K-12 Student Learning. The project will be monitored and evaluated with respect to its success in recruiting, preparing, and retaining MTFs in high need LEAs in South Carolina. Longitudinal data will also be collected to provide information concerning the long-term program features that contribute to effective STEM teacher development. 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 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.

该项目旨在通过提供一项沉浸式的6年变革计划，包括领导力，科学，技术，工程，艺术和数学（Steam）以及基于项目的学习（PBL）学习（PBL）课程和专业学习经验，包括与STEM相关的STEM相关教学领域的国家需求。该项目利用小型队列模型，允许大师教学研究员（MTFS）（即教师领导者）提供更多针对性的关注，并在奖学金所需的时间分配的情况下为地区提供灵活性和支持。该计划将培养二十（20）个STEM教师领导者。该计划计划在Noyce定义下招募经验丰富的K-12 STEM教师，他们完成了至少的本科学位，并在合作伙伴本地教育机构（LEAS）的领域获得许可并在其领域任教，该项目在石灰石大学（LU）（LU）（LU）（LU），包括少数派服务机构（MSI），包括两个非公司的组织，包括非企业组织：非企业的组织，包括非公司的组织：教育工作者招聘，保留与进步中心（CERRA）。该项目将通过保留和支持高效的标题1 STEM教师领导者来影响南卡罗来纳州两个高需求的学区的学生（切诺基学区和斯巴达堡3区）。该项目旨在提高有关有效实践的知识，这些实践有可能影响高需求K-12学校的STEM教师领导者的发展，支持和保留。制定STEM教师领导者的计划在五个目标下组织：（1）建立领导能力（2）设计和评估公平的，数据知识的课程和教学（3）指导者和领导者初学者教育者（4）倡导技能发展（5）改善了K-12学生对K-12学生学习的影响。该项目将在南卡罗来纳州的高需求LEA中进行招募，准备和保留MTF的成功监控和评估。还将收集纵向数据，以提供有关有助于STEM教师发展的长期计划功能的信息。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。
