The project aims to serve the national need of supporting the growth and development of highly effective K-12 STEM teachers in high-need school districts. Effective STEM teachers inspire and engage students, provide them with the skills and knowledge needed to participate in the STEM workforce, and ultimately help them achieve their full potential. It is particularly critical to build the capacity of STEM teachers to foster the frequently untapped talent of students in high-need schools, where many students from historically marginalized populations attend. To address this need, the project will establish a regional professional learning network in the Northeast United States. The network will increase opportunities for early career STEM teachers to connect and collaborate with STEM colleagues from across the region, including experienced master teachers. The network will complement STEM teacher development efforts at individual universities and school districts with professional learning activities to further promote the retention and success of early career STEM teachers in high-need districts. This project is a partnership between three institutions of higher education with previously successful Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship projects: the University of Rochester (NY), the University of Massachusetts at Boston (MA), and Saint Joseph’s University (PA). Project goals include: a) connecting, leveraging, and further developing the knowledge and expertise of master teachers to benefit early-career STEM teachers; b) providing high-quality professional learning experiences for over 600 prospective and practicing teachers that includes two regional STEM teaching conferences, 22 professional learning communities, 22 video clubs, 352 hours of coaching for early career STEM teachers, and nine local professional learning institutes; and c) connecting over 80 Northeast institutions of higher education offering STEM teaching programs to collectively create the Northeast Noyce Professional Learning Network. Among other things, this network will provide opportunities for STEM teacher education leaders to share knowledge and understandings that support continuous improvement of STEM teacher education programs. The project will advance understandings of how teachers access networks to collaborate, connect, and share through a robust program evaluation plan. The project benefits society by translating knowledge into solutions as teachers learn about and implement evidence-based practices in STEM education. This conference project is supported through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce), which aims to support 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求，以支持高需求学区的高效K-12 STEM教师的增长和发展。有效的STEM教师启发和吸引学生，为他们提供参与STEM劳动力所需的技能和知识，并最终帮助他们充分发挥潜力。建立STEM教师的能力以培养高需求学校的学生人才的能力，这一点尤其至关重要，那里的许多来自历史边缘化人群的学生参加。为了满足这一需求，该项目将在美国东北部建立一个区域专业学习网络。该网络将为早期职业STEM老师提供与来自该地区各地的STEM同事（包括经验丰富的大师教师）联系和合作的机会。该网络将通过专业学习活动来补充STEM教师的发展工作，以进一步促进早期职业STEM教师在高需求地区的保留和成功。该项目与以前成功的罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金项目：罗切斯特大学（纽约），马萨诸塞大学波士顿大学（马萨诸塞州）和圣约瑟夫大学（宾夕法尼亚大学）之间的合作伙伴关系。项目目标包括：a）连接，利用并进一步发展硕士教师的知识和专业知识，以使早期职业茎教师受益； b）为600多名潜在和实用的老师提供高质量的专业学习经验，其中包括两个区域性STEM教学会议，22个专业学习社区，22个视频俱乐部，352个小时的早期职业生涯STEM老师教练以及9个本地专业学习机构； c）连接80多个东北高等教育机构，提供STEM教学计划，以共同建立东北Noyce专业学习网络。除其他外，该网络将为STEM教学教育领袖提供机会分享知识和理解，以支持STEM教学教育计划的持续改进。该项目将通过强大的计划评估计划来提高对教师如何访问网络进行协作，连接和共享的理解。随着教师学习和实施STEM教育中的循证实践，将知识转化为解决方案，从而使社会受益。该会议项目得到了罗伯特·诺伊斯（Robert Noyce）教师奖学金计划（NOYCE）的支持，该计划旨在支持才华横溢的STEM本科专业和专业人员，以成为有效的K-12 STEM老师，并经验丰富的K-12教师成为高需求学区的STEM高级老师。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。
