项目摘要

The project aims to serve the national need of increasing the number of elementary mathematics specialists in high-need urban schools. Inclusion of an elementary mathematics specialist on a team of teachers has potential to systemically improve mathematics education, build students’ mathematical capacity to succeed, and increase student achievement in mathematics. Too few students in the U.S. are attaining high levels of mathematics learning, compounded by persisting gaps in mathematics achievement. This project aims to improve mathematics teacher effectiveness and teacher leadership in elementary schools in which many students have great economic needs and are from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields. The project focuses on the recruitment, preparation, support, and retention of elementary mathematics specialists who deliver rigorous mathematics instruction and serve as mathematics teacher leaders. This project at Georgia State University includes partnerships with the metro Atlanta school district Gwinnett County Public Schools and the nonprofit Corners Outreach. Project goals include to: (1) recruit successful, experienced, and diverse elementary mathematics teachers from high-need schools that serve underrepresented student populations to become elementary mathematics specialists; (2) increase the number of elementary mathematics specialists in these schools through evidence-based preparation in two university endorsement programs; (3) develop elementary mathematics specialists who are highly effective mathematics teachers and teacher leaders; and (4) support and retain elementary mathematics specialists as they serve as teacher leaders, including coaching university teacher candidates, in these schools. This five-year project will involve 26 in-service elementary teachers, aiming to promote mathematics equity and access, support teacher retention in high-need schools, and situate teacher candidates in a hiring pipeline. The project's teachers will be prepared and supported as elementary mathematics specialists through completion of the K-5 Mathematics Endorsement and Teacher Support & Coaching Endorsement. In addition to completing these two endorsements, teachers will also engage in a Professional Learning Community and one-on-one mentoring. Evaluation and research involving mixed methods will demonstrate how the intentional and continuous project components affect the mathematical content knowledge, instructional practices, beliefs, and teacher leader skills of elementary mathematics specialists. Results have the potential to advance understandings in the areas of mathematics teacher education and professional development, particularly of elementary mathematics specialists in high-need schools. This Track 3: Master Teacher 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 STEM teachers to become STEM master teachers in high-need school districts. It also supports research on the persistence, retention, and effectiveness 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，以增加高需求城市学校的基本数学专家的数量。将基础数学专家纳入一个教师团队中，有可能系统地改善数学教育，建立学生成功的数学能力，并提高学生在数学方面的成就。美国的学生很少能获得高水平的数学学习，这是数学成就的持续存在差距。该项目旨在提高数学教师的效率和在小学的教师领导力，在这些小学中，许多学生都有巨大的经济需求，并且来自STEM领域中人数不足的群体。该项目着重于提供严格的数学指导并充当数学教师领导者的基本数学专家的招聘，准备，支持和保留。佐治亚州立大学的该项目包括与亚特兰大大都会学区格温内特县公立学校的合作伙伴关系和非营利组织外展。项目目标包括：（1）招募来自高需求学校的成功，经验丰富和潜水员的基础数学老师，这些老师为代表性不足的学生人群提供服务，以成为基础数学专家；（2）通过两个大学认可计划中的循证准备来增加这些学校中的基本数学专家的数量；（3）发展基本数学专家，他们是高效的数学老师和教师领导者；（4）支持并保留基本数学专家，因为他们在这些学校担任教师领导者，包括教练大学教师候选人。这个为期五年的项目将涉及26个在职基础教师，旨在促进数学权益和访问权限，支持高需求学校的教师保留，并在招聘管道中居住教师候选人。通过完成K-5数学认可以及教师支持和教练认可，该项目的老师将作为基础数学专家做好准备和支持。除了完成这两个认可外，教师还将从事专业的学习社区和一对一的心理。涉及混合方法的评估和研究将证明故意和连续的项目组件如何影响基础数学专家的数学内容知识，教学实践，信仰和教师领导者的技能。结果有可能提高数学教师教育和专业发展领域的理解，尤其是高需求学校的基础数学专家。这首歌3：大师级教师奖学金项目得到了罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划（NOYCE）的支持。 NOYCE计划支持才华横溢的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 STEM教师成为高需求学区的STEM大师教师。它还支持有关高需求学区K-12 STEM教师的持久性，保留和有效性的研究。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值得支持。
