This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to prepare culturally responsive secondary STEM teachers to serve in high-need school districts. The $756,286 award to Hawai'i Pacific University (HPU) will support the following key products and services over the project period from August 2024 to April 2025:

  1. Training 12 HPU STEM graduates for secondary STEM teaching positions over 5 years, with a focus on developing skills in STEM curriculum design, culturally responsive teaching, and providing comprehensive support to increase teacher retention in high-need schools.

  2. Improving teachers' sensitivities regarding cultural differences and culturally responsive teaching practices to better address the cultural and linguistic needs of underserved STEM students.

Through this project, HPU seeks to create a model pipeline connecting STEM majors to STEM teaching careers, particularly for students from underrepresented groups, and to provide evidence on the efficacy of this approach for preparing secondary STEM teachers for high-need classrooms.
