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在高需求城市学校增加小学数学专家数量的需求，将小学数学专家纳入教师队伍有可能系统地改善数学教育，培养学生取得成功的数学能力，提高学生的数学成绩在美国，达到高水平数学学习的学生太少，而且数学成绩持续存在差距，该项目旨在提高许多学生经济状况良好的小学的数学教师效率和教师领导力。需要并且来自传统上的群体该项目的重点是招募、准备、支持和保留提供严格数学教学并担任数学教师领导者的基础数学专家。该项目包括与亚特兰大都会区格温内特县的合作伙伴关系。公立学校和非营利性 Corners Outreach 项目的目标包括：(1) 从服务于代表性不足的学生群体的高需求学校招募成功、经验丰富且多元化的小学数学教师，以成为小学数学专家；(2) 增加小学数学专家的数量。这些学校的数学专家通过两个大学认可计划的循证准备；(3) 培养成为高效数学教师和教师领导者的小学数学专家；(4) 支持和留住担任教师领导者的小学数学专家，包括辅导大学教师候选人；这个为期五年的项目将涉及 26 名在职小学教师，旨在促进数学公平和机会，支持高需求学校的教师保留，并将教师候选人纳入招聘渠道。通过完成以下课程，作为基础数学专家进行准备和支持K-5 数学认可和教师支持与辅导认可除了完成这两项认可外，教师还将参与专业学习社区和涉及混合方法的一对一指导和研究，以展示如何有意和持续。项目组成部分影响小学数学专家的数学内容知识、教学实践、信念和教师领导技能，结果有可能增进对数学教师教育和专业发展领域的理解，特别是高需求学校的小学数学专家。 .这首曲目3：大师级教师奖学金项目由罗伯特·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 STEM 教师成为 STEM 大师。它还支持对高需求学区的 K-12 STEM 教师的持久性、保留性和有效性的研究。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为是值得的。通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来提供支持。
