The Robert Noyce Scholars Program at Indiana State University

印第安纳州州立大学（ISU）的罗伯特·诺伊斯学者项目正在印第安纳波利斯公立学校系统的高需求学校中增加科学和数学方面有执照的中学教师的数量和留存率。 诺伊斯学者是从转学生中招募进入ISU从两年制院校，以及从过渡专业人士在科学和数学的背景。 本科生获得奖学金，以支持他们的教师培训，研究生，进入国际空间大学的过渡到教学计划，获得津贴，以抵消在国际空间大学出席的费用。 二十六名未来的教师正在接受培训和指导，在一个完善的教师教育计划，该计划建立在ISU和印第安纳波利斯地区的专业发展学校之间的长期伙伴关系。 该计划的学生参加课程，将印第安纳州学术标准融入内容领域的培训，以及基于问题的学习方法来教授科学和数学。 诺伊斯学者承诺在印第安纳波利斯公立学校任教两年，每年的奖学金。 该项目的智力价值包括评估针对城市环境的有针对性的教师培训的效果，作为将城市环境转变为学生和教师在培训中的学习工具的战略。 ISU还利用其Noyce计划评估城市环境中基于问题的学习的价值。 更广泛的影响包括更多更好的STEM教师和改善城市学区的学习成果。

The Robert Noyce Scholars Program at Indiana State University (ISU) is increasing the number and retention rate of licensed secondary school teachers in science and mathematics in high-need schools in the Indianapolis Public School system. Noyce Scholars are recruited from among transfer students entering ISU from two-year institutions, as well as from transitioning professionals with backgrounds in science and mathematics. Undergraduates receive scholarships to support their teacher training, and graduate students, entering ISU's Transition to Teaching program, receive stipends to offset the costs of attendance at ISU. Twenty-six future teachers are being trained and mentored in a well-established teacher education program, which builds on a long-standing partnership between ISU and the Professional Development Schools in the Indianapolis area. Students in the program take coursework that integrates both Indiana Academic Standards into content area training, as well as a problem-based learning approach to teaching science and mathematics. Noyce Scholars commit to teaching in the Indianapolis Public Schools for two years for each year of the scholarship. The intellectual merit of the project includes an evaluation of the effect of targeted teacher training for the urban environment as a strategy for transforming the urban setting into a learning tool for both students and teachers in training. ISU is also using its Noyce program to assess the value of problem-based learning in urban settings. The broader impacts include more and better STEM teachers and improved learning outcomes in an urban school district.
