CATALYZING STEM EDUCATION PART II: PREPARING STEM EDUCATORS FOR HIGH-NEED SCHOOL DISTRICTS -THE PROJECT AIMS TO SERVE THE NATIONAL NEED OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF HIGHLY-QUALIFIED STEM TEACHERS PREPARED TO TEACH IN HIGH-NEED SCHOOLS AND ENCOURAGE THE PERSISTENCE OF THOSE TEACHERS IN THEIR TEACHING ROLES. TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, THE PROJECT TEAM WILL (1) RECRUIT, PREPARE, AND GRADUATE 17 HIGHLY EFFECTIVE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY MATHEMATICS, BIOLOGY, AND CHEMISTRY TEACHERS WHO PERSIST AS CLASSROOM TEACHERS IN HIGH-NEED SCHOOLS; (2) CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CROSS COLLABORATION AMONG PK-16 EDUCATORS TO COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT RESEARCH-BASED MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE EDUCATION CURRICULUM AND PEDAGOGY FOR IMPROVING TEACHER PREPARATION; AND (3) DEVELOP, IMPLEMENT, AND EVALUATE PROGRAMMING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR PROSPECTIVE AND PRACTICING TEACHERS AIMED AT HELPING TO PREPARE AND RETAIN HIGHLY EFFECTIVE STEM EDUCATORS. THIS PROJECT AT NAZARETH UNIVERSITY INCLUDES PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE ROCHESTER CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE GREECE CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT. PROJECT GOALS INCLUDE PREPARING 17 UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS TO BECOME HIGHLY QUALIFIED MATHEMATICS, BIOLOGY, AND CHEMISTRY TEACHERS, OVER FIVE YEARS, AND TRAINING THEM IN CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING PRACTICES. THIS PROJECT WILL BUILD UPON RELATIONSHIPS STRENGTHENED DURING PREVIOUSLY GRANT-FUNDED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS; USING DATA GATHERED DURING THAT TIME TO RESPOND DIRECTLY TO THE MOST PRESSING NEEDS OF PARTNER SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND THEIR STUDENTS. EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGIES FOR TEACHER TRAINING AND INDUCTION SUPPORT WILL ALSO INCREASE THE RETENTION OF NEW TEACHERS TEACHING IN HIGH-NEED SCHOOLS. THIS PROJECT WILL PRODUCE BROADER IMPACTS ON SCIENCE AND MATH EDUCATION BY INCREASING THE NUMBER, QUALITY, DIVERSITY, AND RETENTION OF LICENSED SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS TEACHERS IN NEW YORK STATE. ROCHESTER, NY, IS EXPERIENCING EXTREME DISPARITIES IN INCOME AND EDUCATION, PARTICULARLY FOR SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN, A CRISIS THAT HAS CAUSED A TRICKLE-DOWN EFFECT OF UNEMPLOYMENT AND A SHORTAGE OF WORKERS WITH THE REQUISITE STEM SKILLS NEEDED TO FILL THE REGION'S DIRE SKILLED LABOR SHORTAGE. RESPONSIVE STEM EDUCATION THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS IN HIGH-NEED DISTRICTS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN GREATER STUDENT SUCCESS IN MATH AND SCIENCE, GREATER GRADUATION RATES, AND HIGHER CHANCES THOSE STUDENTS WILL SEEK COLLEGE EDUCATION OR BE PLACED IN WELL-PAYING JOBS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION. THIS TRACK 1: SCHOLARSHIPS AND STIPENDS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED THROUGH THE ROBERT NOYCE TEACHER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM (NOYCE) AND IS SUPPORTED IN PART BY FUNDS FROM MICRON FOUNDATION. 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.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS ACROSS CAMPUS (MHAAC): INTEGRATING A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND SUICIDE PREVENTION AT NAZARETH COLLEGE - THE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS ACROSS CAMPUS (MHAAC) PROJECT WILL INTEGRATE A HOLISTIC AND CAMPUS-WIDE APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND SUICIDE PREVENTION AT NAZARETH COLLEGE, A SMALL, PRIVATE INSTITUTION IN ROCHESTER, NY. THIS PROJECT WILL ADDRESS AN URGENT AND CRITICAL NEED TO INCREASE CAMPUS CAPACITY TO IMPLEMENT, SUSTAIN, AND IMPROVE EFFECTIVE SUICIDE PREVENTION, MENTAL HEALTH PREVENTION SERVICES AND SUBSTANCE USE PREVENTION SERVICES ON CAMPUS. MHAAC WILL INCREASE THE NAZARETH COMMUNITY’S ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE, RESPOND TO, AND REFER STUDENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES SUCH AS SUBSTANCE USE, SELF-HARM, AND SUICIDAL IDEATION BY PROVIDING MENTAL HEALTH AND AOD TRAINING TO 130 FACULTY/STAFF AND 318 STUDENTS AS WELL AS TRAINING KEY STAFF TO BE ABLE TO FURTHER TRAIN THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY. MHAAC WILL ALSO CREATE AN OUTREACH AND PREVENTATIVE SERVICES STRUCTURE ON CAMPUS TO REDUCE SYMPTOMS OF MENTAL ILLNESS, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, AND SUICIDAL IDEATION, AND REACH OVER 2000 PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MESSAGING AND PROGRAMMING.

MENTAL HEALTH CARE INCLUDING THERAPY AND WELLNESS SERVICES FOR UNDERSERVED CHILDREN AND ADULTS - NAZARETH PROPOSES TO INCREASE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN OUR REGION THROUGH INTER-PROFESSIONAL MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS CREATED FROM INTEGRATING AND SCALING UP BEHAVIORAL/MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES CURRENTLY PROVIDED ON CAMPUS THROUGH THE YORK WELLNESS & REHABILITATION INSTITUTE. THE YORK INSTITUTE IS THE UMBRELLA FOR CLINICAL EDUCATION FOR NAZARETH'S HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES PROGRAMS IN ART THERAPY, MUSIC THERAPY, NURSING, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, PHYSICAL THERAPY, SOCIAL WORK, AND SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY. CERTIFIED AND LICENSED CLINICAL EDUCATORS MENTOR STUDENT CLINICIANS IN THE PROVISION OF THERAPY AND WELLNESS SERVICES AS PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT OF CLINICAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS. THE YORK INSTITUTE PROVIDES THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF FREE SERVICES ANNUALLY IN A CONSTELLATION OF ALLIED HEALTH CLINICS TO UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS FROM NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT MONROE AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES, WITH SEVERAL INDIVIDUAL CLINICS PROVIDING BEHAVIORAL/MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. A NEW INTEGRATED MODEL FOR CHILD AND ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES WILL INCLUDE ART THERAPY, MUSIC THERAPY, NURSING, PLAY THERAPY, AND SOCIAL WORK SERVICES.

CATALYZING STEM EDUCATION: BRINGING K-12 EDUCATORS, COLLEGE STEM AND EDUCATION FACULTY TOGETHER TO RECRUIT, PREPARE, AND RETAIN FUTURE STEM EDUCATORS -THE PROJECT AIMS TO SERVE THE NATIONAL NEED OF BUILDING CAPACITY IN PREPARING HIGH-QUALITY SCIENCE AND MATH TEACHERS IN HIGH-NEED DISTRICTS. IN MANY DISTRICTS, THERE IS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF TEACHERS WHO TEACH OUTSIDE OF THEIR SUBJECT AREA. WHILE THE DEMAND FOR PEOPLE WITH STEM BACKGROUNDS IN THE WORKFORCE IS INCREASING, THE NUMBER OF COLLEGE STUDENTS PURSUING STEM TEACHER PREPARATION IS VERY LOW. K-12 STUDENT SUCCESS IN STEM IS LINKED TO HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION BY TEACHERS WHO HAVE STRONG STEM BACKGROUNDS. IN ORDER TO COUNTER THIS PROBLEM, THIS PROJECT WILL RUN A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS TO CONNECT COLLEGE FACULTY WITH K-12 TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND OTHER CHARACTERISTICS FUTURE STEM TEACHERS NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. THE OUTCOME WILL BE THE CREATION OF A GROUP OF COLLEGE FACULTY WELL-PREPARED TO TEACH STEM CONTENT TO PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS. COLLEGE ADMINISTRATORS WILL THEN BE ABLE TO ATTRACT PROSPECTIVE COLLEGE STUDENTS TO THE FIELD OF STEM EDUCATION WITH A WELL-DEIGNED STEM TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAM. THE PREMISE OF THIS WORK IS THAT GETTING TEACHERS, COLLEGE FACULTY, AND ADMINISTRATORS AT THE TABLE TO DISCUSS TEACHERS' NEEDS AND ABILITIES WILL MAKE STEM TEACHER PREPARATION MORE SUCCESSFUL IN THE LONG RUN. THIS PROJECT AT NAZARETH COLLEGE INCLUDES PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE ROCHESTER CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND GREECE CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT. PROJECT GOALS INCLUDE 1) DEEPENING PARTNERSHIPS WITH TWO REGIONAL HIGH-NEED SCHOOL DISTRICTS; 2) ASCERTAINING THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND DISPOSITIONS THOSE DISTRICTS NEED IN FUTURE STEM TEACHERS; 3) DEVELOPING CURRICULUM, LEARNING EXPERIENCES, AND ASSIGNMENTS/ASSESSMENTS AT NAZARETH, BOTH IN STEM CONTENT AND EDUCATION CLASSES THAT WILL DEVELOP THE REQUISITE SKILLS, CONTENT KNOWLEDGE, AND DISPOSITIONS IN FUTURE NOYCE SCHOLARS; 4) PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR NAZARETH FACULTY TO SUPPORT THEIR UTILIZATION OF SAID PEDAGOGIES; AND 5) IDENTIFYING THE BEST WAYS TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN FUTURE EDUCATORS, FROM AND FOR THOSE DISTRICTS WHEN POSSIBLE. CURRICULAR MATERIALS DEVELOPED WILL INCLUDE ASSIGNMENTS, LESSONS OR LAB ACTIVITY DESCRIPTIONS, COURSE SYLLABI, AND CURRICULAR MAPS AND PLANS. ONCE THESE DELIVERABLES ARE USED IN THE CLASSROOM AND LIKELY REFINED BY THE INSTRUCTORS, DISSEMINATION CAN OCCUR AS POSTER PRESENTATIONS AT STEM EDUCATOR CONFERENCES OR SUBMITTED TO PEERS DATA HUB, ?PARTNERSHIPS FOR EXPANDING EDUCATION RESEARCH IN STEM? AN NSF-FUNDED ?RESEARCH DATA HUB AND COLLABORATIVE SPACE FOR DIVERSE STEM EDUCATION RESEARCH COMMUNITIES TO BUILD AND ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE THROUGH SHARING INNOVATIVE IDEAS, METHODS, AND TOOLS.? THIS CAPACITY BUILDING 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.
