The project aims to serve the national need to prepare high-quality STEM teachers to serve and persist in high-need schools. STEM teacher retention and effectiveness in high-need schools can be influenced by cultural differences between teachers and students. The project aims to recruit and prepare 30 secondary STEM teachers to teach biology, mathematics, chemistry, or general science in high-need schools in Massachusetts. The preparation of these STEM teachers will include development of content expertise and development of inclusive teaching skills to bridge cultural differences that sustain students’ cultural identities in the context of STEM. The project includes the innovative practice of engaging university STEM faculty in co-teaching in high-need STEM classrooms in collaboration with secondary STEM teachers and students to promote mutual learning.This project at Westfield State University (WSU) aims to partner with the high-need Holyoke and Springfield Public School Districts. Project goals include: 1) increased recruitment of STEM majors into WSU STEM secondary education licensure programs; 2) increased STEM teachers graduated and placed in high-need schools in the region, 3) enhanced WSU secondary STEM teacher preparation courses to better prepare aspiring STEM teachers to serve in culturally diverse, high-need classrooms, and 4) establishment of a community of practice among aspiring, practicing ,and early career secondary STEM teachers and WSU professors. The project aims to recruit and provide two-year scholarships for four cohorts of 7-8 undergraduate STEM students majoring in biology, mathematics, chemistry, or general science, for a total of 30 undergraduate scholars over five years. External evaluation aims to provide iterative feedback to the project and to generate new knowledge about effective approaches to incorporating social justice frameworks into a STEM teacher preparation. Dissemination of project results has the potential to influence secondary STEM teacher preparation programs at other institutions. This Track 1: Scholarships and Stipends project is supported through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Project (Noyce). The Noyce project 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求，以准备高质量的STEM教师在高需求的学校中服务和持续。在高需求学校中的STEM教师保留和有效性可能会受到教师和学生之间的文化差异的影响。该项目旨在招募和准备30位二级STEM教师，以在马萨诸塞州的高需求学校中教生物学，数学，化学或一般科学。这些STEM教师的准备将包括开发内容专业知识和发展包容性教学技能，以弥合在STEM背景下维持学生文化身份的文化差异。该项目包括与二级STEM教师和学生合作促进高需求的STEM教室的创新实践，以促进相互学习。韦斯特菲尔德州立大学（WSU）的项目旨在与高需求的霍利奥克和斯普林菲尔德公立学区合作。项目目标包括：1）将STEM专业的招募增加纳入WSU STEM中学教育许可计划； 2）增加的STEM教师毕业并安置在该地区的高需求学校中，3）增强了WSU次级STEM教师准备课程，以更好地准备有抱负的STEM教师，以在文化上的潜水员，高需求的教室中服务，4）建立外部评估目标，以为项目提供有效的社会司法框架的新知识，以提供务实的态度，以将stem stem stem stem stem eford Squorts纳入A An A A A NOKE NOW STEM NOWITAD。项目结果的传播有可能影响其他机构的二级STEM教师准备计划。这首歌1：奖学金和津贴项目得到了罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金项目（NOYCE）的支持。 NOYCE项目支持有才华的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。
