This project aims to serve the national need of preparing and retaining culturally competent, high-quality science and mathematics teachers. As underrepresentation of people of color persists in STEM fields nationally, there is an urgent need to prepare teachers who are able to support students of color to be successful in, and develop identities in, STEM. Project activities, including recruiting STEM students, developing cultural competence, and developing a shared community of practice among pre-service and in-service STEM teachers are designed to support the persistence of STEM teachers in classrooms in high-need school districts. In addition to the integration of cultural competence in the teacher preparation program of STEM majors, a summer institute engaging both pre-service and in-service STEM teachers aims to grow the knowledge, skills, and perspective needed to utilize culturally relevant pedagogy, which includes academic excellence and sociopolitical consciousness, in addition to culturally responsive teaching. Collectively project activities are designed to support the development of an identity as a culturally competent STEM teacher. In addition, outcomes of this project include guidance for STEM teacher educators on how best to develop and support STEM teachers equipped with strategies and approaches to provide learners with experiences in success in mathematics and science, and who will persist as teachers in high-need school districts. This project at the University of Nevada Las Vegas includes partnerships with the Clark County School District and local businesses. Over the five-year project, 24 undergraduate students in STEM fields will receive scholarships to complete bachelor’s degrees in a STEM discipline and be prepared as new science and mathematics teachers through a dual major or minor in education, leading to teaching certification. Local businesses will provide support for program activities such as workshops as well as financial support as Scholars begin their teaching careers. This project will contribute to research on how STEM teachers develop culturally competent identities, with practical results broadly applicable to STEM teacher educators nationally. 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培养和留住具有文化能力的高素质科学和数学教师的需求，由于全国范围内 STEM 领域有色人种的代表性不足，因此迫切需要培养能够支持学生的教师。项目活动包括招募 STEM 学生、培养文化能力以及在职前和在职 STEM 教师之间建立共享实践社区，旨在支持 STEM 的持久发展。教室里的老师除了将文化能力纳入 STEM 专业的教师培训计划之外，暑期学院还吸引了职前和在职 STEM 教师，旨在培养利用这些知识、技能和观点。文化相关的教学法，包括学术卓越和社会政治意识，以及文化响应式教学，旨在支持培养具有文化能力的 STEM 教师的身份。此外，该项目的成果还包括对 STEM 教师的指导。教育者如何最好地培养和支持配备策略和方法的 STEM 教师，为学习者提供数学和科学方面的成功经验，并让他们坚持在高需求学区担任教师。该项目包括与克拉克分校的合作。在这个为期五年的项目中，24 名 STEM 领域的本科生将获得奖学金，以完成 STEM 学科的学士学位，并通过教育双主修或辅修课程成为新的科学和数学教师。当地企业将提供教学认证支持。该项目将有助于研究 STEM 教师如何培养文化能力，其实际结果广泛适用于全国 STEM 教师教育工作者。津贴项目由罗伯特·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有效的 K-12 STEM 教师，以及经验丰富、模范的 K-12 教师成为 STEM 大师级教师。它还支持有关高需求学区 K-12 STEM 教师的有效性和保留的研究。该奖项是 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的评估而被认为值得支持。影响审查标准。
