The University of Chicago received a three-year, two-hundred thirty-six thousand seven hundred eighty dollar Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program to conduct research examining elementary mathematics teachers' behaviors and learning with an online professional development platform. The university will explore how elementary school teachers participate in and perceive their learning from asynchronous online resources for mathematics teaching, including...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $290,373 to Central Michigan University to develop the abilities of STEM teacher educators to model core teaching practices (CTPs) for teacher candidates. The project aims to ensure new STEM teachers can effectively use CTPs, which research has shown best support learning for all students. Over 2 years, the project will facilitate a community of practice (COP) where STEM teacher...

This Project Grant of $308,277 was awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Digital Promise Global, a non-profit organization, to develop a professional development approach using a library of vetted video cases. The goal is to build elementary teachers' capacity for inclusive computational thinking (CT) integration within their core instruction in subjects like math, science, and language arts. The project will partner with urban and rural school...

This National Science Foundation project grant of $299,980 will fund the integration of inquiry-based and project-based learning into the pre-service STEM teacher curriculum at Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025. Under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the project aims to train pre-service STEM teachers to effectively utilize hands-on teaching methods through applied research experiences, professional development in...

This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to investigate the impact of video-based analysis of classroom teaching on STEM teacher preparation, effectiveness, and retention in high-need schools. The $157,753 award to Teachers College Columbia University will engage approximately 200 future and current STEM teachers across seven institutions in video-based analysis activities as part of their teacher preparation...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $212,613 to East Carolina University to develop curriculum materials and conduct research to prepare future middle and high school mathematics teachers to effectively use web-based dynamic geometry technology tools when leading discussions on geometry concepts. The three main goals are: 1) creating online modules to train future teachers on facilitating productive mathematics discussions...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to investigate the impact of engaging teacher candidates and new teachers in video-based analysis of STEM classrooms. The goal is to build their skills in noticing inclusive approaches to STEM teaching, with the potential to improve the effectiveness and retention of STEM teachers in high-need schools. The $117,457 award supports a collaborative research project led by Kennesaw...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,009,021 to Northwestern University to develop justice-oriented teachers certified to teach computer science. The project will recruit, prepare, and support 16 STEM majors (2 cohorts of 8) to earn a master's degree in education and an Illinois teaching license with a computer science endorsement. Key program elements include academic, networking, and social support, as well as 2...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $299,925 to Teachers College Columbia University to develop an integrated computational thinking and science curriculum for elementary students on the island of Molokai in Hawaii. The project engages teachers and researchers in a Research Practice Partnership (RPP) to co-design curricular units that integrate the Full Option Science System (FOSS) science modules with computing...
