This Phase I Noyce project is a collaboration between California State University, Chico and CSU Sacramento, in partnership with three area school districts - Chico Unified School District, Oroville Union High School District, and Sacramento City Unified School District, and the Northeastern California Curriculum Committee which represents all the rural schools of Northeastern California.These two California State University campuses have long been leaders in providing highly qualified mathematics and science teachers for a service region larger than the size of Ohio that includes both rural remote regions as well as large urban areas with large populations of low income, culturally and linguistically diverse students. In conjunction with other existing programs, the Noyce Scholars program is assisting Chico and Sacramento in doubling the number of mathematics and science teachers they produce in the next five years, a statewide goal of the CSU system. Specifically, TEMS is producing 25-30 new math and science teachers at each campus.TEMS is adding to the scholarly work at both campuses. TEMS is providing support to create and enhance programs for all math and science pre-service teachers, not just Noyce scholars. Programs and activities that are being expanded through Noyce include: Hands-On Lab science teaching experiences, Project M.A.T.H. (Mathematics And Teaching on the Horizon), new courses for STEM professionals allowing them to gain teaching credentials, expanded teacher recruitment activities, expanded early field experiences for pre-service teachers, collaborative efforts with existing programs such as the Alliance for Minority Participation, the Mathematics and Science Teaching Initiative, California Postsecondary Education Commission grant programs for retaining new math and science teachers on both campuses, and the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment induction programs. Mentoring and advising also is being expanded to insure the success of Noyce scholars from underrepresented groups.In addition, TEMS is bringing the scholars and faculty from two different environments together to learn from each other, thus increasing their capacity to effectively teach populations of students throughout California. Finally, the project's evaluation plan is being designed to be a prototype evaluation model for the California State University System and is adding to the body of knowledge about widening the pipeline to the teaching profession in mathematics and science.

Noyce项目的第一阶段是由加州州立大学奇科分校和加州州立大学萨克拉门托分校合作，与三个地区学区合作——奇科联合学区、奥罗维尔联合高中学区和萨克拉门托市联合学区，以及代表加州东北部所有农村学校的加州东北部课程委员会。长期以来，这两所加州州立大学在为一个比俄亥俄州还大的服务区提供高素质的数学和科学教师方面一直处于领先地位，这个服务区既包括偏远的农村地区，也包括拥有大量低收入、文化和语言多样化学生的大城市地区。诺伊斯学者项目与其他现有项目一起，正在帮助奇科和萨克拉门托在未来五年内将数学和科学教师的数量增加一倍，这是科罗拉多州立大学系统在全州范围内的目标。具体来说，TEMS正在每个校区培养25-30名新的数学和科学教师。TEMS在两个校区都增加了学术工作。TEMS正在为所有数学和科学职前教师，而不仅仅是诺伊斯学者，提供支持，以创建和加强项目。通过Noyce扩展的项目和活动包括：动手实验科学教学经验，M.A.T.H.项目（地平线上的数学和教学），为STEM专业人员开设的新课程，允许他们获得教学证书，扩大教师招聘活动，扩大职前教师的早期实地经验，与少数民族参与联盟，数学和科学教学倡议等现有项目的合作努力，加州高等教育委员会为两个校区保留新的数学和科学教师以及初任教师支持和评估诱导项目提供了资助。指导和建议也在扩大，以确保来自代表性不足群体的诺伊斯学者的成功。此外，TEMS将来自两个不同环境的学者和教师聚集在一起，相互学习，从而提高他们有效地教授整个加州学生群体的能力。最后，该项目的评估计划正在被设计成加利福尼亚州立大学系统的原型评估模型，并正在增加有关拓宽数学和科学教学专业管道的知识体系。
