This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $653,653 to Southern University and A&M College, a historically black college and university (HBCU) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to diversify STEM teacher education. The project aims to recruit, prepare, and retain high-quality secondary STEM teachers from diverse backgrounds to serve high-need schools in underserved communities. Key activities include engaging 15 interns in authentic STEM research experiences, certifying 15 highly qualified STEM teachers, and providing induction support for novice STEM teachers. The project leverages culturally sustaining pedagogy and self-efficacy principles to support the unique contributions of women and other historically underrepresented groups in STEM teaching. This 5-year project, which commenced on January 1, 2024, is funded through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program.
