This National Science Foundation project grant of $637,498 supports Prairie View A&M University in building a community of racially and ethnically diverse secondary mathematics and science teachers. Funded under the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education program (CFDA 47.076), the five-year project beginning July 15, 2023 aims to prepare 24 underrepresented minority students as STEM teachers through a bridge-to-teaching program, learning communities using the UTeach model, and a community of practice for newly certified teachers. The project addresses the need for greater teacher diversity identified in research as benefiting student academic and social-emotional outcomes. Results may advance recruitment, preparation and retention strategies focused on building teacher identity and self-efficacy through community. Outcomes include increasing highly effective STEM teachers in high-need school districts to support the NSF's mission of broadening STEM participation.
