Full name: Advancing Teacher Leadership in Urban Schools through SDSU’s Noyce Math & Science Teacher Fellowship Program.
Principal Investigators: Lisa Lamb, Susan Nickerson, Randolph Philipp, David Pullman, Donna Ross, Meredith Vaughn.
Funding: National Science Foundation Grant 1950335. Funding period: 2020-2025. Funding amount: $2,999,825.
This project aims to serve the national interest of supporting K-12 mathematics and science teachers to become teacher leaders in high-need school districts. When teachers become effective teacher leaders, they can better support the achievement of their students. Such support is critically important in high-need schools and districts, where much of the student body is socioeconomically disadvantaged and/or historically underrepresented in mathematics and scientific fields. The teachers in this project will develop and implement school-site plans to improve the mathematics and science learning experiences of all their students. They will also lead a sustained school-site focus toward meeting goals related to mathematics and science learning. In addition, the project's teacher leaders will take courses about K-12 Educational Leadership in mathematics and science, apprentice with university faculty in research labs, and co-teach a university course that is designed for prospective mathematics and science teachers.

We are delighted to work with 21 extraordinary master teaching fellows from schools in SDSU’s geographic service region! They have been working hard with Dr. Joseph Johnson and Dr. Rupinder Boyd at the National Center for Urban School Transformation and with teacher leaders and previous Noyce Master Teaching Fellows Lenelle Wylie and Will Stuart.
