Clemson University MAT Noyce Scholarship Program for Middle Grades Education

克莱姆森大学（Clemson University）正在提供罗伯特·诺伊斯（Robert Noyce）奖学金，以招募来自STEM学科的职业转行者和STEM专业的应届毕业生参加教学艺术硕士（MAT）项目，该项目包括初中级教育教师资格认证。智力优势：该项目的管理团队由一名数学教育家、一名科学教育家和MAT项目协调员组成。每四年，将从工业界、传统黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）以及克莱姆森大学（Clemson University）招募10名参与者参加诺伊斯奖学金项目。每位参与者将获得1万美元的奖学金。克莱姆森MAT项目与一个全国知名的项目合作，叫我先生（男性指导学生树立有效的榜样）（CMM），该项目将非裔美国男性安排在南卡罗来纳州的小学教室里。与CMM建立的关系是另一种从代表性不足的人群中招募新教师从事数学和科学教师职业的工具。更广泛的影响：克莱姆森大学的教师教育重点不仅是基于标准的教育，而且是基于探究的教育。通过增加来自代表性不足群体的数学和科学教师的数量，该项目为许多中学生增加了积极榜样的数量。

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.
