The Robert Noyce Scholars Program at Indiana State University

印第安纳州立大学(ISU)的罗伯特·诺伊斯学者计划正在增加印第安纳波利斯公立学校系统中高需求学校的持证中学科学和数学教师的数量和保留率。诺伊斯奖学金是从两年制院校进入ISU的转学学生以及具有科学和数学背景的过渡专业人员中招聘的。本科生获得奖学金以支持他们的教师培训，研究生进入ISU的教学过渡计划，获得津贴以抵消在ISU学习的费用。26名未来的教师正在接受一项完善的教师教育计划的培训和指导，该计划建立在执行支助股与印第安纳波利斯地区的专业发展学校之间的长期合作伙伴关系的基础上。该项目的学生学习的课程将印第安纳州的学术标准融入内容领域的培训，以及以问题为基础的学习方法来教授科学和数学。诺伊斯学者承诺，奖学金的每一年都会在印第安纳波利斯公立学校任教两年。该项目的学术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，将其作为一项战略，将城市环境转变为学生和教师在培训中的学习工具。ISU还在使用其Noyce项目评估以问题为基础的学习在城市环境中的价值。更广泛的影响包括更多和更好的STEM教师以及城市学区学习成果的改善。

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.
