Second, since individuals make up asystem and culture, as individuals change, heal, and re-engage, the system will alsochange and heal. Evidence suggests that a change process that begins with individuals’mental models—especially leaders’ [7]—and that accounts for emotions and desires [8], iseffective to successfully bring forth change in an organization.Initial StepsAs fundamental culture change is a difficult and involved process, the first year of the granthas largely focused on planning and logistics to build the foundation for a successfultransformation

Our MontclairState University NSF Research Experience for Teachers (RET) grant (NSF Award Number:#2206885, IRB Number: 22-23-3003) exposed teachers to a program integrating solar weather,data science, computer science and artificial intelligence, and STEM pedagogy. The cohortcomprised nine middle- and high-school teachers with diverse academic backgrounds anddemographics from northern and central New Jersey. The teachers interacted with and wereadvised by faculty from Montclair and two other institutions, and by outside experts, to learn thebasics, develop lesson plans, and present these to and interact with a learning-intensive summercamp

The NSF Noyce Track 1 grant offers$20k/year scholarships in the junior and senior year that could offset the need to work in industryto pay off school loans instead of entering the K-12 classroom. We have been continuouslyshifting the culture at our institution to highlight the challenging, yet rewarding and impactful,career in teaching. Over the past 4 years (i.e., the duration of our grant), the number of TPPstudents have been increasing, as well as the number who plan to teach math, science,technology/engineering, or digital literacy/computer science at the secondary level (i.e., middleand high school).

This is in line with NSFgoals. Not all students from the 2021-2023 cohorts have graduated yet, so our analysis here focuses on the2006-2016 cohorts. This extends prior reporting that we had made on the earlier cohorts [10]. As shown inFigure 4, in their responses to the pre-REU surveys, between 10% and 44.4% of the 2006-2016 participantsstated future plans to attend graduate school; the remainder indicated that they were either undecided orplanned on working post-graduation. Not surprisingly, these

Through ano-cost extension we have continued a fourth year of data collection related to the effectivenessof LbE.Across the study our approaches have been collaboratively developed in situ with teacher andstudent participants. For example, we have built on an initial concept of the LbE approachthrough insight during classroom observations, reflections with teachers and students, analysis ofstudent performance during the experience, and numerous outreach activities with designeducators.

While minor degrees are not novel, it was found that the programminghad to be linked to something of recognizable/tangible value to students. Through student and advisorinterviews, it was found that advising programs are automated to direct students toward “checking boxes”for a plan of study without consideration of the nuances of different types of learning opportunities. Themain goal of pursuing higher education for students is to essentially receive credentials that have value forfuture careers.
