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（Robert Noyce Scholarships），招收STEM学科的职业转换者和STEM专业的应届毕业生进入教学艺术硕士（MAT）课程，该课程包括初中教育的初始教师认证。智力优势：该课程的管理团队由一名数学教育家，一名科学教育家和MAT课程协调员组成。在四年的每一年，10名参与者正在招募从行业，历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCU）以及克莱姆森大学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MAT项目与一个全国知名的项目“叫我先生”（男性指导学生走向有效的榜样）（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教室里。与CMM建立的关系是另一种工具，招聘新教师从代表性不足的人口的职业生涯作为数学和科学教师。更广泛的影响：教师教育的重点在克莱姆森大学不仅是基于标准，但也探究为基础的教育。通过增加来自代表性不足群体的数学和科学教师的数量，该计划正在为许多中学生增加积极的榜样数量。

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.
