This Noyce Stipend Program supports recently initiated efforts to address the critical shortage of qualifiedscience and mathematics teachers in the Chicago Public Schools, particularly in urban areas of high need.It builds on a successful partnership between CPS and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) thatoffers standards-based program opportunities for career-change candidates with strong science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) backgrounds interested in becoming a certified teacher. This NoyceProject specifically features two such program opportunities: 1) the Middle Grades Science (MGS) andMiddle Grades Mathematics (MGM) Program, and 2) the Master of Science in Teaching Secondary SchoolMathematics (MST) Program. Teacher candidates in the MGS/MGM Program earn an elementary schoolcertificate (K- 9) with a middle grades (5 - 8) endorsement in science or mathematics. It is an alternativeroute program, with separate science and mathematics cohorts, offered through the College of Education.The MST is a conventional secondary teacher preparation program (6-12) offered through the Departmentof Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science. The beneficiaries of a Noyce Stipend Award arecareer-change candidates with strong academic abilities and STEM qualifications and demonstratedfinancial need, within the broader social commitment to preparing a diverse workforce of science andmathematics teachers prepared to address the needs of urban youth (Ladson-Billings, 1995). There are three specific objectives: 1) to enhance the recruitment of STEM candidates to the MGS/MGM and MST programs; 2) to support the retention of MGS/MGM candidates, given the documented need for heightened support for those entering through alternative certification routes across the first three years (CSMPT, 2001; Huling, Resta, & Rainwater, 2001); and 3) to redirect the MST student pipeline at UIC to teacher employment in CPS in high-need areas. These goals are being attained by awarding stipends to the appropriate students. The program includes two types of stipend awards: one to aid the recruitment of new candidates, and the other to assist with the retention of recently admitted candidates.

该诺伊斯津贴计划支持最近发起的努力，以解决芝加哥公立学校合格的科学和数学教师的严重短缺，特别是在城市地区的高需求。它建立在CPS和伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）之间的成功合作伙伴关系的基础上，为具有强大的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）背景，有兴趣成为一名认证教师。这个NoyceProject特别提供两个这样的计划机会：1）中年级科学（MGS）和中年级数学（MGM）计划，以及2）中学数学教学科学硕士（MST）计划。MGS/MGM计划的教师候选人获得小学证书（K- 9），并在科学或数学方面获得中等成绩（5 - 8）的认可。这是一个alternativeroute程序，与单独的科学和数学的同伙，通过教育学院提供。MST是一个传统的中学教师准备计划（6-12）通过数学，统计和计算机科学系提供。诺伊斯津贴奖的受益者是具有较强学术能力和科学、技术、工程、数学和数学资格并证明有经济需要的职业变革候选人，他们在更广泛的社会承诺范围内培养了一支多样化的科学和数学教师队伍，以满足城市青年的需要（Ladson-Billings，1995年）。有三个具体目标：1）加强MGS/MGM和MST计划的STEM候选人的招聘; 2）支持MGS/MGM候选人的保留，因为有文件证明需要加强对那些在前三年通过替代认证途径进入的人的支持（CSMPT，2001年; Huling，Resta，Rainwater，2001年）;以及3）将UIC的MST学生管道重新定向到高需求地区的CPS教师就业。这些目标正在通过向适当的学生发放助学金来实现。该方案包括两种津贴：一种是帮助招聘新的候选人，另一种是帮助留住最近被录取的候选人。
