Clemson University MAT Noyce Scholarship Program for Middle Grades Education

克莱姆森大学提供罗伯特·诺伊斯奖学金，以招收STEM学科的转行者和STEM专业的应届毕业生参加一个教学文科硕士(MAT)项目，该项目包括中学教育的初步教师认证。智力优势：该项目的管理团队由一名数学教育者、一名科学教育者和MAT项目协调员组成。在四年中的每一年，都会从工业界、历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)以及克莱姆森大学招募10名参与者参加诺伊斯奖学金计划。每位参与者将获得10,000美元的奖学金。克莱姆森垫子项目已经与一个全国知名的项目Call Mister Mister(男性指导学生建立有效的榜样)(CMM)合作，该项目将非洲裔美国男性安置在南卡罗来纳州的小学课堂上。与CMM建立的关系是从代表性不足的人群中招聘新教师到数学和科学教师行业的另一种工具。更广泛的影响：克莱姆森大学的教师教育不仅强调基于标准的教育，而且强调基于探究的教育。通过增加来自代表不足群体的数学和科学教师的数量，该计划正在为许多中学生增加积极榜样的数量。

Robert Noyce Scholarships are being given at Clemson University to recruit career changers from STEM disciplines and recent graduates from STEM majors into a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program that includes initial teacher certification for Middle Grades Education.Intellectual Merit: The administrative team for this program consists of a mathematics educator, a science educator, and the Coordinator of the MAT program. For each of four years, 10 participants are being recruited from industry, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as well as Clemson University to participate in the Noyce Scholarship Program. Each participant receives a $10,000 scholarship. The Clemson MAT program has partnered with a nationally renowned program, Call Me MISTER (Men Instructing Students Towards Effective Role Models) (CMM), that is placing African-American males in elementary classrooms in South Carolina. The established relationship with CMM is another vehicle to recruit new teachers from underrepresented populations to careers as mathematics and science teachers.Broader Impact: The emphasis of teacher education at Clemson University is not only standards-based, but also inquiry-based education. By increasing the number of mathematics and science teachers from underrepresented groups, this program is increasing the number of positive role models for many middle school students.
