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 State University Research and Service Foundation, Inc. (KSU R&SF) in partnership with six other institutions. The project will engage approximately 200 future and current STEM teachers across the country in video-based analysis activities as part of their teacher preparation programs and induction years. Researchers will investigate how this approach impacts teachers' professional vision for equitable STEM teaching, as well as their effectiveness and retention in high-need school districts. The project has the potential to inform STEM teacher preparation and professional development programs nationwide.
