This $405,955 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to energize STEM teaching across rural schools. Over five years, Juniata College will provide scholarships for 24 undergraduate STEM majors to pursue teaching credentials through specialized coursework and experiences addressing the challenges of rural education. Partnering with five local rural and high-needs school districts, the prospective teachers will be trained in culturally relevant practices to ensure equitable opportunities for all students. In addition to collaboration among Juniata's math, science, and education departments, the teachers will engage in summer research and extensive field placements in rural settings. The project will be evaluated through surveys, participation tracking, and interviews to disseminate lessons learned at state and national conferences. The funding supports the NSF's mission to ensure the vitality of the nation's STEM education enterprise.
