Need
The Northeast region was lacking a forum to present research findings in the context of practice. In addition, data collection and collaborative opportunities were needed to uncover new research ideas for Noyce Track 4 projects through engaging a diverse set of stakeholders.
Research Questions
What research findings can be implemented into the practices of teacher training and enactment of teaching in the classroom? What are the big ideas to tackle in Noyce Track 4 research to inform teacher training programs for persistence in high-need schools?
Approach
The Northeast Noyce Professional Learning Network has planned to meet professional development needs in the regional community through conferences, professional learning, research support, coaching, and local institutes. For Track 4 research support, our efforts are twofold: promoting the translation of research to practice and developing new research efforts and collaborations. To enhance translation of research findings to practice, we plan to invite Track 4 leaders from all regions to Northeast Noyce regional conferences to lead Translating Noyce Research sessions. To encourage the development of new research proposals, we will identify topics through stakeholder engagement including survey data collection, conference workshops, and iterative development of a research framework. We have chosen these methods to engage all possible researchers in the process of idea development.
Outcomes
We would like to encourage educators involved with Noyce training programs to incorporate new research into their pedagogy. This project is also intended to engage new researchers in collaborative Noyce Track 4 research.
Broader Impacts
A main impact of the project is to incorporate ideas from educators that are underrepresented in Noyce Track 4 research efforts though broad data collection efforts.
