This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), in the amount of $346,897, was awarded to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. on June 1, 2023. The project aims to provide in-service and beginning elementary school teachers in rural Georgia increased opportunities to refine their mathematics teaching practices to support underrepresented minority youth. Over the 5-year project period, the grant will establish a virtual distance learning community to support 10 equity-focused elementary mathematics coaches across rural Georgia counties. It will also develop and refine an online graduate coursework sequence to prepare these coaches, and implement an innovative model of university supervision and induction for 10 beginning teachers. The project goals are to improve access to high-quality STEM education in rural areas and provide critical support to early-career teachers to enhance retention.
