This $699,438 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to increase the supply of effective STEM teachers in high-need school districts. The 5-year project at Wittenberg University will:
- Recruit and graduate 50 undergraduates pursuing teaching licensure in STEM fields
- Retain 90% of recruited students
- Place 100% of graduates in high-need school districts and support them through service obligations
- Improve STEM teacher candidates' preparedness by providing learning assistant opportunities
The project also includes a study on the effectiveness of the learning assistant program in improving student outcomes. The results will be disseminated to the STEM education community. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
