In collaboration with four area school districts, the Boise State University Robert Noyce Scholar Program is graduating 27 certified highly qualified math and science teachers for employment in schools identified as at-risk. The project is supporting a total of 15 undergraduate and 12 graduate students. Recruitment activities include local industries and involve the Center for Multicultural and Educational Opportunities. A Program Coordination Council consisting of faculty from Education, Mathematics, Geosciences, Biology, Chemistry, and Engineering meets regularly with Noyce Scholars to assess student academic progress, assist with challenging issues, and develop support strategies. The Noyce Scholars have enriched academic support through learning communities that meet frequently to discuss issues such as innovative pedagogical practices and new research in STEM disciplines. Access to academic support from both faculty and peers is providing Noyce Scholars, especially those who are historically underrepresented in STEM fields, an increased opportunity for success. Historically, factors that have negatively affected retention or successful program completion by students pursuing math or science education include financial limitations and a lack of connection to the university and advisors. The Noyce Scholars receive financial support through scholarships or fellowships and mentoring support from faculty and peers, resulting in increased access to key faculty and the university support system. As first year educators, the Noyce Scholars obtain support from faculty and peers through an online networking system. Faculty advisors also mentor the new teachers during the first academic teaching year. After the first year of teaching, Noyce graduates continue to receive faculty support and access to the online networking system developed specifically for Noyce Scholars. An evaluation plan utilizes both qualitative and quantitative methodologies and includes an external assessment.

在与四个地区学区的合作下，博伊西州立大学罗伯特·诺伊斯奖学金计划将为27名经过认证的高素质数学和科学教师提供毕业生，这些教师将在被确定为有风险的学校就业。该项目共资助15名本科生和12名研究生。招聘活动包括当地行业，并涉及多元文化和教育机会中心。一个程序协调理事会组成的教师从教育，数学，地球科学，生物学，化学和工程与诺伊斯学者定期会面，以评估学生的学术进步，协助具有挑战性的问题，并制定支持策略。诺伊斯学者通过经常开会讨论创新教学实践和STEM学科新研究等问题的学习社区丰富了学术支持。 获得教师和同行的学术支持为诺伊斯学者提供了更多的成功机会，特别是那些在STEM领域历史上代表性不足的学者。从历史上看，对追求数学或科学教育的学生的保留或成功完成课程产生负面影响的因素包括财务限制以及与大学和顾问缺乏联系。 诺伊斯学者通过奖学金或研究金获得财政支持，并从教师和同行的指导支持，从而增加了对关键教师和大学支持系统的访问。作为第一年的教育工作者，诺伊斯学者通过在线网络系统获得教师和同行的支持。在第一个学年，教师顾问也指导新教师。经过第一年的教学，诺伊斯毕业生继续获得教师的支持和访问专门为诺伊斯学者开发的在线网络系统。评估计划利用定性和定量方法，并包括外部评估。
